Stop the Music. Saigon's suburban battle seldom makes the headlines. It is still largely the sentry's war of short, sharp encounters: the bark of a close rifle, the sudden cough of automatic weapons, the crump of a single mortar, occasionally a scream as a knife finds its way through a rib cage. An "incident" may be anything from the skirmish of a dozen men to the blare of a propaganda bullhorn; whatever their nature, incidents are on the increase along the Gia Dinh perimeter. From February to April they averaged 37 a month. Through July...

Song to a Scream. The change came from inside-with no help from any government or urban-renewal project. It began in 1948, when a few homeowners formed a neighborhood association and started sprucing themselves up. Others were shamed into following suit. In 1950 the association started an art fair, and the patrons it attracted noticed the neighborhood. There were the sturdy old houses just waiting to be worked on, and the prices were right. One artist, for instance, found a house for $4,000. All that was needed was a lot of energy and some money to put into...

...Gold Cup means to powerboat racing roughly the same thing that the Indianapolis 500 does to auto racing. The boats are the biggest, fastest and trickiest to handle; powered by souped up 2,000-h.p.

Beyond money problems, Wilson hopes for some concentration on basic research in Boston in the next few years, "though Boston would probably scream-they like intellectuals only in principle."

...many-armed electrical device attached by tiny screws inserted into the skull, a rubber collar that could be tightened to sever a man's head, plus nail extractors, scissors for castration, leather-thonged whips and small rubber hammers. P.A. systems in the torture rooms carried every blood-curdling scream to other prisoners waiting their turn. If Trujillo favored variety, he also favored volume. One October night in 1937, he ordered his army to eliminate all Haitian squatters in the Dominican Republic. In a 36-hour bloodbath, some 15,000 men, women and children were massacred...
