Their light consisted of one electric bulb and half a dozen flashlights trained upon the incision by Filipino nurses.

...cities like Hanoi (pop. 300,000), the Communists have instituted a monthly ration of 17 lbs. of rice for children, 33 lbs. for adults, 55 lbs. for their new privileged elite, the Communist party workers. "Rebels eat last" is the rule in the sections where Roman Catholics resist the regime. The Hanoi press extols the "selfless help" of Red China, but Red China (itself in economic trouble) has only sent Ho one shipment of 10,000 tons of rice.
