...possible use of nuclear weapons in Viet Nam, conceding that he is not equipped to decide the issue, Reagan observed: "The last person in the world that should be told we won't use them is the enemy in Viet Nam. They ought to go to bed every night thinking we will...

The primeval marshes where, according to Egyptian belief, the world began and the dead person's metamorphosis took place, are evoked by a wall of papyrus, which in turn gives way to the dramatic climax of the show: the great funeral mask with its blaze of gold, lapis lazuli, carnelian and turquoise. Altogether, it is small wonder that in the first 20 days, some 180,000 Frenchmen have...
