...face the essential Viet Nam issue? Whether or not Hanoi "leaves South Viet Nam alone," many experts believe that the situation in South Viet Nam is a revolutionary one and that the Viet Cong is primarily a civil-revolutionary force. Will Mr. Rusk never acknowledge this possibility? Will he persist in evading the real point...
...over. Clouds are raised and further patched up. Their function is now described as "decorative." Undulating, floor-to-ceiling panels of plywood constructed around stage. Auditorium walls reshaped.

Those who determinedly set out to see all the sights are apt to call it quits ten exhibits and a few blisters later, discouraged by large lines at some attractions and meager offerings at others. Even if they persist, the price is high. If a family of four were to follow Moses' commandment and push through the turnstiles seven days in a row at $2.50 a head, it would be a $70 bite in the family budget, without allowing for a simple bite into a Belgian waffle or American...
