...WOULD like to compare the Western experience in Europe to the Asian situation today. It is undeniable that the Vietnam war is, in a broad sense, a product of Sino-American collision in Asia. And the two powers behind the present conflict will sooner or later come to realize that they cannot win a complete victory by mere force. The U.S. seems to be aware that it cannot defeat Communist China, the great power reserve behind the Ho regime, without precipitating all-out nuclear war. And China, even before it fell into the present state of confusion, seemed to know...
...American economic system is one of the greatest achievements of all times. It is great not only because of its measurable end product; it is great because, on the whole, it is so humane.

For the rest, Holt has not only a growing business in educational movies and other teaching aids, but a group of four magazines, including that staunch sportsman's standby Field & Stream. Overall earnings last year rose 28%, to $6.6 million on sales of $70 million-enough...
...Spaniards are sizzling over the fact that the cheaper non-Spanish sherries ($1.30 to $2.50 a bottle, compared with $2 to $4) have taken over half of the large and lucrative British market, which the Jerez product once had all to itself. The low-price sip, sniff the Spaniards, is far inferior. Some of it comes from vineyards in South Africa, Australia and Cyprus. Some is made in Britain from imported grape juice, which is processed and sold under such labels as "British Sherry" and "South African Sherry...
