...knows how to move onstage. Leete occasionally relaxed enough not to look pained, but Miss Boyer was obviously frightened by the smallest prop manipulations. The general staging was no help. The two principals played against fuzzy, torn transparencies in a ramshackle slatboard set that was simply disgraceful, and moved underneath two ugly purple-specked quadrangles that had absolutely no function. An engaging jazz trio that sang mocking platitudes with Gleem-bright smiles was a lonely ray of grace amid the general desolation...
...large and particularly complicated world. One of its complications is, of course, the cold war rivalry, which so far has worked to the new nations' advantage by providing two competitive founts of aid. "The bipolar power structure provides," says Harvard's Joseph Nye, "a safety net underneath these nations as they play on their tightrope." If ever the U.S. and the Soviet Union get together and agree on spheres of influence, however, the new nations may find themselves with no net to fall into; in the interim, they had better acquire some bounce. The 20th century...
...musicians wear long robes and sometimes tights, but polished black shoes, horn-rimmed glasses and short haircuts keep the costumes from seeming really medieval.

...four years the pleasant coastal plain of Binh Dinh has been a private Communist demiparadise of palm-topped villages and emerald paddies. But underneath paradise were the ubiquitous mole holes of the Viet Cong -an estimated 3,000 strong in the area. It was, as one U.S. officer put it, "V.C. Fat City-mighty pleasant living for them." That came to an abrupt end early one rainy morning when the first helicopter assault forces of the 1st Air Cav took off from Moore's staging area, called "Dog," and headed for LZ-4, a landing zone nestled between...
...acre compound consists of five grass-and-straw huts, a camouflaged lookout tower, a well, a shaded hammock for the village chief. A dozen "Viet Cong" defenders-infantry troops who have completed their training and are awaiting assignment to Viet Nam-wear black pajamas and conical peasant hats. Underneath the village snakes a maze of tunnels that connect each hut to a passageway leading under the village wall. When the trainees attack, some villagers usually slip into the tunnels to get away; those who are captured and interrogated try to convince their captors that they are loyal peasants...
