...larger-scale invasion. Our two northern provinces of Quang Tri and Thua Thien are presently under terrible pressure." Columnist Joseph Alsop believes that "a new Battle of the Bulge" may be in the making. "Everything is now to be gambled [by Hanoi] to reverse the war's unfavorable trend," predicts Alsop, "by achieving a Dien-bienphu-like success against American troops in I Corps." U.S. Pacification Chief Robert Komer, a World War II combat historian, agrees that a climactic battle may be imminent, but compares it to Saint-Ló, when the Allies burst out of the Normandy perimeter...
Invitations to the Paris gala benefit prescribed: "Smoking pour les hommes et pour les femmes," which in this case did not mean that everyone should light up a Gauloise. Smoking meant le smoking, French for dinner jacket, and nearly all the girls, falling in with a trend started by Designer Yves St. Laurent last year, showed up looking like either Marlene Dietrich or a headwaiter.

This produces what is called by scientists the "orientation response," and by artists, a pun on the ambiguous relationship between art (the process of creation) and reality. Remember Blow...
...they did show a decrease in the acceptance of the moral principles of Roman Catholicism as the best guide in life. This could be taken to indicate some success in the Party's efforts at eradication of old values and the instilling of new. Other evidence contrary to this trend, however, shows that in Czechoslovakia, for example, "the students have a tendency to derive general moral rules from religious ethics or from bourgeois humanism, and to apply them as criteria for history ..." at the expense of "communist morality...
