Correction The newly-revived rock caps (suspiciously instituted last week to order to hype John Lincoln Wright and the Sour Mash Boys--who, by the way, are playing tonight through Saturday at The Club, a warehouse-like place on Main St. in Cambridge with better acoustics than Mather House last weekend but where you should leave your coat outside in the bushes because they force you to check your cost among other annoying little rip-off like the absence of draft been made a mistake last week when some roof at WHRB told me that the long rock orgy announced...
...Also incredulous are the people of Hanoi, who for 20 years have lived in austerity, when they see in their newspapers pictures of the store windows of Danang. The two parts of Viet Nam are like Sparta and Byzantium; they are like the two ingredients of a sweet and sour sauce, difficult to mix so that it will remain tasty...

...risk of creating selffulfilling prophecies of doom. Certainly Americans are disillusioned with their Viet Nam experience, and rightly so. They are less ready to support U.S. military aid or intervention elsewhere. But that does not mean that even the collapse of South Viet Nam would turn Americans so sour on foreign affairs that they would desert their commitments in more vital areas: Europe, the Middle East, Japan and some other parts of Asia. There will be no such desertion, unless the Ford-Kissinger rhetoric convinces the public that each global trouble spot is equally significant, or equally insignificant...
