Plaints and Visions. Consciousness I people, Reich observes, still persist and still see America as if it were a world of small towns and simple virtues. The membership includes "farmers, A.M.A.-type doctors, gangsters, Republicans and 'just plain folks,'" plus -one assumes-a Vice President or two. The folks in Consciousness II tend to be young doctors, idealistic lawyers, Kennedy men, believers in the New York Times editorial page, as well, presumably, as Ralph Nader and all his raiders. Unlike Consciousness I, Consciousness II people are aware of the erosion of the American Dream. But they are equally...

Perhaps moral laws are subject to appeal. Perhaps, as Mallarme observed, "All thought emits a throw of the dice." Most film makers vainly attempt to have it both ways; Chabrol succeeds. This Man Must Die is as full...
Hanoi's problems are compounded by the troubles that persist in agriculture. Fully 70% of North Viet Nam's agricultural work force is female, a reflection of the losses the country has suffered in nine years of war with the French and another nine years of fighting for control of South Viet Nam. The new strains of "miracle rice" that have brought self-sufficiency in food supply to many other Asian nations (TIME, July 13) have failed to take hold in North Viet Nam, partly because workers assigned to collective farms are unwilling to give the new strains...
