...facilities. It will need all the dock space the engineers can clear: one measure of the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam is that last January only 65,000 tons of military equipment were fed into the nation by sea; during November more than 750,000 tons will arrive-a tenfold increase. Eventually, Cam Ranh's facilities will be able to store 45 days' supply for all the U.S. forces in Central Viet Nam.

All of the works in the show? two-thirds of which were acquired over the years by Rosenberg? have increased tenfold in value. A Kirchner woodcut bought in 1945 for $90 is now worth $2,000. Klee's 1923 lithograph, Tight rope Walker, cost him $40, and now would command 15 times the price...
