...week, there were about 130 rocket and mortar attacks against cities and bases. The headquarters bivouac of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division at Dong Tarn, 35 miles southwest of Saigon, was torn up so severely by hostile fire that U.S. newsmen were barred from the scene. Two ARVN Special Forces battalions were also savaged by enemy attacks 35 miles northeast of Saigon: their casualties were reported as "moderate," a euphemism for fairly substantial losses. The continued enemy pressure around Saigon was underscored by the U.S. sweep in the V.C.-infested Michelin rubber plantation northwest of the capital. After a week...

He dismisses synthetic foods as almost blasphemous and his gorge rises on the subject of dieting: "When you fast, fast; when you feast, feast." Neither prim nor prudish, he considers women, like pastries, a special delight: "A woman is like an aging strudel-not always crisp on the outside, but always good on the inside...
...Special Resources. If the Guarneri is indeed Budapest's heir, it could not have been more properly anointed. It was founded at Vermont's Marlboro Music Festival at the suggestion of the Budapest's own second violinist, Alexander Schneider; its name was supplied by Budapest Violist Boris Kroyt, who had once played with a now defunct European quartet called the Guarneri (after the 18th century Italian violinmaker). Despite its distinguished sponsorship, the quartet's success is the result of its own special musical resources. First Violinist Arnold Steinhardt, 32, a tall (6 ft. 3 in.), darkly...
