...sakebrewer, Sato was born in the somnolent town of Tabuse, on Honshu's far eastern coast, just 100 miles from the Straits of Tsushima, where in Sato's fifth year Admiral Heihachiro Togo destroyed the Russian fleet. That was the year of Japan's greatest military success, but little of it rubbed off on Eisaku. Sato's older brother, Nobusuke Kishi,* was the star of the family, graduated second in his class at Tokyo University law school (Sato was much lower). In 1941, Kishi became one of the youngest Cabinet ministers in Japanese history when...

They are also a bargain: the average cost per defector is $125, v. an estimated $400,000 expended to kill one enemy soldier, and 70% of those coming over so far have been combat soldiers. For all the success of Chieu Hoi, though, it is still far from winning the war. To date there have been only 200 defectors from the North Vietnamese forces, and no matter how many war-weary Viet Cong come over the line, there will be yet more Northerners to replace them. Still, Saigon feels that the defection rate has reached a turning point, expects this...

The program response was anyhow obvious enough: guaranteed full employment, birth control, adoption services, etc. But first of all a family allowance. The United States is the only industrial democracy in the world without a system of automatic income supplements for people living with their children. It is the simplest and possibly the most effective...

...Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjdld left behind a book that he had been working on secretly for 36 years, a slim volume of 600 poems, prayers and aphorisms dealing with "birth and death, love and pain." Hammarskjold's Markings (TiME, Oct. 23, 1964) was an instantaneous success. "Everybody owns Dag Hammarskjold's Markings," said retired Episcopal Bishop Malcolm Endicott Peabody. "But few have read it. Few of those have understood it." What fascinated the public, though, was far less the book's content than the striking contrast it revealed between the public image of the icy, imperturbable diplomat...

...plays the wistful mewings of the string quintet against the dense harmonies of the orchestra, intertwines exquisite vocal patterns like a kaleidoscope turning in slow motion. Brilliantly performed, Requiem was distinctly modern but never abrasively atonal, a somber, moving prayer celebrating man and his God. For Josephs, 39, the success of his Requiem marks him as one of Britain's most promising young composers. He is something of a late-bloomer, he says, because to support himself he had to supplement composing with his career as a dentist. A few years ago, he happily switched from molars to movies...
