Final Wave. Barrientos liked to brag that he had walked away from 25 air crashes of one kind or another. Last week, making one of his rural visits, he failed to survive the 26th. Traveling by helicopter with a pilot and military aide, he landed on a basketball court in the Andean village of Arque. He dedicated a school honoring John F. Kennedy and a new public health dispensary, presented money for a town water-supply system and paused briefly for refreshments and handshaking. Then, with a final wave, he departed for the village of Tacopaya, 25 miles away. Rising...
...Wolfe, we offer a few character references. From Joseph Alsop, came the disclosure that Tom Wolfe was an agent of Ho Chi Minh and campus disorders. Simultaneously, Dwight MacDonald--one of the "walking dead" himself--saw affinities between Wolfe, Hitler, Joe McCarthy, and your run-of-the-mill kamikaze pilot. Finally, in an effort to eliminate superficial contradictions while injecting a needed sense of perspective, Walter Lippmann categorically declared: "Tom Wolfe...

...World War II exploit, the flight was instead the latest example of the effectiveness of the private air force owned and operated by Japanese newspapers. Pilot Kumon flies full time for Asahi, Japan's largest daily (circ. 5,350,000), and his flight last week brought the world its first news, complete with pictures, of the U.S. Navy's massive move to protect electronic spy missions off Korea. His crewman's photographs of the U.S. carrier gave Asahi a brief edge in Japan's intense press rivalry, but some ten other press planes, including those...
...turns out anti-smoking tracts for civic groups. Money from the "Smokehouse," as staffers call it, has started several local anti-cigarette projects. In Bakersfield, Calif., teen-agers have been given a $52,000 grant and professional help to prepare commercials, posters and bumper stickers (SMOKE, CHOKE, CROAK). The pilot project there has been so successful that it will be repeated in several other cities this fall. The director of the clearinghouse, Dr. Daniel Horn, a pioneer cancer researcher, urges medical men to deliver anti-smoking appeals while they treat patients in their offices. Horn figures that, in less than...
