...course, are the fault of the Viet Cong. Outside the capital, the Communists concentrate on cutting supply lines. The railroad to Hue, South Viet Nam's ancient Buddhist center far to the north, has not been used for a year. Route 4, over which most of the rich harvest of the Mekong Delta moves to Saigon, is mined with jolting frequency. The road from mountainous Dalat-source of the capital's vegetables and fruit-can be traversed only by army truck convoys. On back-country roads last week, the Viet Cong coolly halted traffic, confiscated bikes, cars...
There are twice as many kangaroos as there are people in Australia. This is reassuring for marsupial buffs, but worrisome for the men who are struggling to develop and hold their rich, empty western outpost in an Asia seething with unrest. With only 11 million humans in a land as big as the continental U.S., Australia is rushing to completion $4 billion worth of industrial projects over the next five years.

Among the many men who have made money from electronics, Greek-born Vessarios Chigas, 43, left a job at Sylvania, set up Boston's Microwave Associates; he now is worth at least a million. Charles Stein, 37, sensed a rich future in convenience foods. He began by buying oranges at retail and squeezing them into juice for hospitals and hotels; the business grew so vitamin-rich that National Dairy bought it from him for 17,000 shares of stock (now worth $1,530,000), and Stein has gone on to become...
...Guido Guinizelli and Arnaut Daniel. At first the climb is cruelly difficult, but as Dante ascends it becomes easier. Both as a man and a poet, he visibly grows as he goes. In I'lnferno the verse is harsh, immediate, brilliant; in Il Purgatorio it becomes progressively more rich and reflective...
