...lives and does all pre-and post-production work in a rambling manor house defended by two wooden walls and furnished in early nondescript. He rarely ventures forth even to London, less than an hour away. He prefers that the world-in controllable quantities-be brought to him via telex, telephone, television. All the books and movies this omnivorous reader-viewer requires are delivered to the retreat he shares with his third wife Christiane, his three daughters, three dogs and six cats. He is, says his friend, Film Critic Alexander Walker, "like a medieval artist living above his workshop." According...

Returning to the office last week, they found that it had taken about 30 hits, mainly from .50-cal. armor-piercing machine-gun bullets. The desks were covered with shards of glass and plaster, but the telephones and telex were still working. Says Prager: "The relatively safe areas have become smaller; the box has shrunk."

All together, 37 Vietnamese sponsored by TIME have come to the U.S. Now living in Connecticut, New Jersey and California, they are learning to cope...
Long Xich Luong, father of ten, mans the telex in our San Francisco bureau. "I just dial New York, the light comes on, and I send traffic. In Saigon I often had to wait two or three hours." Long is eager to learn better English. Indeed, the language barrier is the worst problem for the entire family, though American customs are as unfamiliar as the idiom. Accustomed to Saigon's strictly military parades, the Longs were surprised to find not only firemen and politicians but also schoolchildren marching in Corte Madera, Calif., on the Fourth of July.
