...gist, Marat/Sade shows Sade's little company reenacting the death of the Revolutionary leader Jean-Paul Marat at the hand of the Royalist Charlotte Corday, before a stage audience of Charenton's director and his lady. But the murder is strung out by the philosophical intrusions of Sade, who leaves his stage-side perch to argue with Marat and deflect the action; by the blank verse narration of the herald, who prompts, cajoles and apologizes; by the petulant interruptions of M.

Working with remarkable precision, they avoided civilian targets, unloaded on army headquarters, the airport, and the command post of Royalist Army Strongman General Kouprasith Abhay. At the same time, a military radio station began broadcasting a declaration from coup-happy Laos' latest "Revolutionary Committee."

...test, Ma has logged something like 4,000 hours in the Laotian air force, most of them by leading daily bomb runs against Communist troops moving toward South Viet Nam along the Ho Chi Minh trail. For all his blustering threats, however, Ma's objectives were limited. Royalist generals, who resented his refusal to let them use his transport planes in their more or less open dealings in the opium trade, had pressured the government to retire him as air force commander and give him a desk job in Vientiane. All he really wanted was to stay where...

...Philippine Republic endures as Asia's freest democracy. It is no "showcase," to be sure, but it stands as a model of hope for all of non-Communist Southeast Asia: from the introverted Burma of Neutralist General Ne Win to the bankrupt chaos of Suharto's Indonesia; from royalist Thailand through Malaysia to trifurcated Laos; and certainly to South Viet Nam itself...
