...have left a Univac smoking. No fewer than 1,297 candidates were vying for 159 seats in the often rambunctious Lower House of the National Assembly. In one Saigon district, for example, voters had to sift through a sheaf of 81 ballots, each printed with a candidate's photograph and symbol, and choose five to seal in a little brown envelope, which then was dropped in a ballot box. In a number of areas, moreover, voters who wanted to register antigovernment sentiments found that balloting was not only a complex procedure but also ultimately superfluous.

Demanding and visionary, in 1954 she badgered Henry Luce into promising that she would be LIFE'S first photographer to go to the moon.

These men still have admirers, but they lack followers. If among the enshrined elders the seating order has been changed-as in the latest photograph of the Soviet Presidium-William Carlos Williams is the new chief because he dealt with commonplace objects by using common speech, and he never rhymed anything...
