...most of the same old problems were still there. As U Thant himself told the Assembly in accepting the appointment, there was no reason for him "to have new hope" that his second term would be much smoother than his first. The main factor in his decision to stay on, in fact, was simply that the U.N. had pleaded with...
...learn, as the Viet Cong have, that in a water war, ammunition belts corrode and uniforms and boots can rot within a week. Finding adequate amounts of dry land for base camps will also be a problem. A good rest area is essential: even the long-inured Vietnamese seldom stay out in the field for more than 24 hours at a stint. Finding dry land to implant batteries of howitzers is difficult.

She insists upon carrying her own bags, does not mind the bothersome business of changing behind trunks and fussing with her wardrobe while on tour (harpists find that pleated skirts stay neatly pressed if wound through the strings of their instruments). Says Boston's Leinsdorf: "Uniformly, the women's pride is so great that their attendance record is better than the men's. They have my utmost respect." But women rarely get the utmost money, and most orchestra managers...
