...their husbands and boy friends-or even to get ahead in the business world. "These days," says Dr. Jiro Minagawa, who heads Tokyo's plush Minagawa Cosmetic Clinic, "girls come in and go out much as they go to the beauty salon to have their hair done." Dr. Pham Ba Vien, dean of Saigon's practitioners of chirurgie esthétique, agrees. "Show a woman something different-a new style or a new face-and she wants it," he says. "And if she can afford it, she will...
About a third of the film reflects no political bias: shoppers in a busy department store, workers in a modern textile factory. About a third of it is warmly pro-Ho: President Ho Chi Minh himself appears only in stills, but the movie offers an interview showing Premier Pham Van Dong as a merry little grig who seems about to warble Whistle While You Work.

A corpsman took Hoi Pham to Project Viet Nam civilian doctors, who have volunteered to care for civilians (TIME, May 20). With no neurosurgeon among them, they referred her to the Navy. Dr. Pitlyk found that Hoi Pham...
...case of Hoi Pham Tri illustrates the growing, voluntary response of U.S. military doctors and corpsmen to the medical problems of civilians. In the slack times between treating service men's wounds and illnesses, many doctors in the three medical corps have turned to treating the Vietnamese. Their motives are admittedly mixed. One is concern for the helpless, neglected sick; another is the challenge of severe cases. "Imagine!" says Dr. Pitlyk, "I wouldn't have seen a case like Hoi Pham's in five years at any emergency ward in the U.S., where people just...
