...Scurrilous & Silly." The point of the magazine's piece was that Michigan State, while running a big, U.S.-financed project to train Viet Nam's fledgling police forces from 1955 on, provided cover for five CIA agents. On that, everybody concurred-but on precious little besides. Among Ramparts' other natterings: the cloak-and-dagger men, though supposedly assigned to teach the police administration techniques, were actually under orders "to engage in counterespionage and counterintelligence"; M.S.U. raked in $25 million in seven years before Premier Ngo Dinh Diem canceled its contract; the university "actually supplied" the Vietnamese "with...
...born Pham Bong on Dec. 31, 1923, in Diem Dien, a village in central Viet Nam now under Hanoi's rule. One of three sons of a well-to-do farmer, he was sent at the age of 13 to the Bao Quoc pagoda in Hué to train for monkhood.

...before they have spent hundreds of hours in a controlman), but whose interest is purely technical. Bob Kalayan '67, this year's head controlman, does nothing but technical work, and, he says, "the more complicated it is, the more fun." It takes only five or six hours to train a controlman to minimal standards, but beyond that, there is all kinds of scope for a good man. What a controlman really likes is "har"--short for harassment. The more shifts from one tape to another, or from tape to live broadcast; the more "splits"--when there is one thing...
...provided the playwright is skillful. Dennison isn't. Instead of treating the device seriously or comically--as in Batman when a BLAM sign is flashed--he tries to do both at once and winds up with something that is laughable. There is, for example, an actor who "portrays" a train and at least four times walks across the stage carrying a framework that is suggestive of a train. Not to subtle...
