Quiet in the Delta. The level of fighting, to be sure, did not nearly approach the intensity of battle that had prevailed earlier in the year. Whatever tacit understanding to lower the level of violence that had been reached be tween the U.S. and the North Vietnamese seemed to be working, at least in part. Nonetheless, almost 500 Americans and more than 450 South Vietnamese have died in action since Nov. 1. The weekly average of 144 U.S. battle deaths since then is admittedly considerably lower than the average of 293 for the year prior to the halt...
...legs of his subjects. There is hatred and hostility in Bacon's vision, but of late it seems to be mellowing. Nothing in his current show comes near to matching the insane intensity of his screaming popes of 1949-53. A study of three male bodies, to be sure, shows one crouched like a foetus and another with his leg in a splint, but the third, who dangles apelike from a pole, has an amiable if freakish mien. A woman lounging in a deck chair turns a face wreathed in a hideous grimace-yet, on second glance...
...students were able to attend classes-either in schools that remained open or in makeshift classrooms set up on parental initiative.

The city's school lunch program, which normally provides 400,000 lunches daily...
California's condemned men (and one woman), all of whom enjoyed a 17-month stay of execution while the cases were being decided, are sure to use the Anderson-Saterfield ruling for new petitions of their own. Under last week's decision, those who cannot afford lawyers are now entitled to have one provided for every plea. Thus, if the deathrow inmates do not get their sentences revised, at least they will avoid the gas chamber a while longer...
...Drake noted that he had already had "a pretty good bash at about every end of the business." Last week Drake was in the midst of a brand-new bash-one that could turn out to be very good indeed. In a lightning move that belied B.P.'s sure-but-slow reputation, Drake set plans to buy B.P.'s way into the American market at a cost of $300 million-one of the biggest single invasions of the U.S. by British capital ever...
