When we arrive at White Sand Bay, we are overwhelmed by the beauty of the place. Rice paddies and farm land extend to within a few hundred yards of the shore; from there, rolling hills slope gently down to the beach. We are disappointed that we cannot take pictures--the presence of pillboxes and military installations along the shore prevents it. Originally built by the Japanese during, the occupation period, such installations are common along the whole shore of Taiwan. Many have been abandoned but none destroyed; once in a while an enterprising farmer will use one to house...
Sheehy will move back to defense after 13 games up front for the icemen a year ago. His 6-ft., 1-in., 205 size will help shore up the blue line, as will fine stickhandling skills. Cleary: "The decision to move Neil back has worked out quite well...
...Kent (Susannah Rabb), must be eliminated, done neatly when the public-works projects of the W.P.A. force the play-within-the-play to open on a battleship, where Miss Kent succumbs to sea-sickness.

She regains consciousness in time to join...
...threat implied in sin, Buddhism is often dismissed as a weak religion. In reality it offers one of the few elements of cohesion in the ethnographic jigsaw that is Southeast Asia. On the plains, the Buddha's concepts of the "flood" (travail in the material world) and "further shore" (the search for nirvana) are apt metaphors for peasant lives constantly subjected to natural disasters. In mountain societies, which are often driven by a lust for Lebensraum, Buddhism's "middle way" tempers excesses...
...pause lasts only a decade, it will be too long. The great experiment of the last century, conducted primarily in the United States, has been to see if we could keep the wave from crashing, somehow moderate its peak or build up its base so that it never hits shore. Americans, in 1980, have given up on that experiment, which demands quick analysis and dramatic, constant change, with hardly a look back. It is unlikely that we will renew the quest before scarcity hits America as more than just lines on charts...
