Limping Along. Fordham Dean James R. Dumpson, who led an AID-sponsored month-long tour of refugee centers, estimated that the war has left nearly 2,000,000 South Vietnamese homeless. Some are North Vietnamese looking for a better life in the South. Many lowland peasants and mountain people flee their villages to escape Viet Cong control or because they are in the path of combat operations. Others are forced to move from battle areas by the government. Nearly half are children. Plowing into AID-staffed centers at the rate of 38,000 a month, the refugees are turning...
After Cambridge, Prince Charles is expected to enter the navy for a tour of duty.

But the company -notably the two leads, Tenor Giacomo Aragall and Soprano Renata Scotto-traded the flawed gusto of its Trovatore and Nabucco performances for restraint and quiet artistry, making...
...they find their own style and endure, or will this hit be their last? Last week, as the family worked their way down the West Coast on a 22-city personal-appearance tour, Bud was confident: "We're going to be a top recording group. There's no question in my mind, never has been." Still, considering the treacherous tides of the pop music business, the family had better heed the advice of one of the songs they sing: Knock on Wood...
