...interiors are almost as spectacular. Not one to pinch pennies on the extras that make the difference, Rockefeller lined lobbies, corridors and courtyards with $90,000 worth of art objects, ranging from a 13th century Buddha head to colorful Hawaiian quilts. Although modest in size, the guest rooms ($28 to $48 a day) are sumptuously outfitted. All feature willow headboards from Milan, teak bedside tables, Thai bedspreads and framed collections of seashells, plus spacious balconies to sun on. Bathrooms have mirror walls, marble sink counters, built-in ice-cube makers and overhead infrared lamps. A tri-level restaurant affords virtually...
Hitting the Junks. The week's most spectacular fight came near Chu Lai, the coastal airbase defended by 2,500 U.S. Marines. There the Viet Cong overran an island headquarters of the South Vietnamese "Junk Fleet" (TIME, May 7), but before they could retreat, the marines stormed ashore to trap them. Many Viet Cong swam to safety, but eight were killed and 45 captured...
...Wall Street, but the question of leisure-what it is, who has it, and how to use it-haunts anyone who thinks about the nature of American life.

...About to Throw Up." One hard day's night over the whole CBS network last week, the big-beat spectacular happened just the way Murray planned it. A breakneck succession of 23 Scopi-tone-like acts in 90 minutes. A bill reading like Billboard's "Hot 100" and sounding, to adults, like 76 air hammers. The Ronettes playing stickball on Manhattan's Mott Street. Little Anthony and the Imperials mock-"bopping" on the stage of the Brooklyn Fox. Gary Lewis and the Playboys blowing up a squall on the beach at California's Abalone Cove...
...swashbuckling ex-bandit who had killed 20 men before he was 30. His mustache bristled, his eyes burned black, and his temper was so violent that his personal physician forbade him to eat meat. He drove his ragged armies to the spectacular victories that finally brought the revolution to power. Then, claiming its leaders were corrupt, he spent the next six years trying to destroy them, finally retired in disgrace. Ever since his death in 1923, Mexicans have argued whether Pancho Villa was the Robin Hood he claimed to be-or just an ambitious hood...
