...that's not an all-out offensive, I don't know what is," said one American official in Saigon last week. He was referring to the latest outbreak of fighting in South Viet Nam, which the U.S. Defense Department, at least at first, did not seem to regard as particularly serious. The South Vietnamese military, understandably, took a grimmer view. For the first time in a year, the ARVN high command revived (at 3:30 p.m.) the once-famed "5 o'clock follies"-the daily military briefing for the 60-odd foreign newsmen presently in Saigon...
What then should the U.S. do? With regard to Cambodia, the question may already be academic. Obviously Washington would gladly settle for a neutralist regime based on the Laotian model as a replacement for Lon Nol, but there is little reason to believe the Khmer Rouge would now accept anything less than full power.

The U.S. position has been that it would not attend the April meeting unless it had strong backing within the IEA on at least one or two proposals aimed at helping to free the industrial...
...college graduates in the work force, and the presence in the culture of more and more institutions directed towards the educated, society experiences a "geometric jump" in its numbers of educated masses, he says. The growing pains are tough, Fisher concedes, because college graduates must learn not to regard their college experience as only a prelude to professional employment, but instead should adjust to lead lives uncheapened by work they consider--beneath them. A liberal education can be a significant personal experience, Fisher says, but it cannot promise to give students "earthy vocational skills." What is more important than reconciling...
