...official trip to Washington and other U.S. cities with the double-barreled aim of bolstering his prestige at home and burnishing his regime's uncertain reputation in the U.S. Washington, mindful of the predictable demonstrations by antiwar zealots, was cool to the idea of the visit. Eventually, the expected Communist offensive afforded an excuse to Thieu for avoiding a prolonged absence from Viet Nam. Besides, Thieu's running rivalry with Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky made staying close to home a matter of prudence...
DARK AS THE GRAVE WHEREIN MY FRIEND IS LAID, by Malcolm Lowry. A 1945-46 visit to Mexico furnished the basis for this fragmented, posthumous half-novel by a boozy-brilliant man to whom writing was an unending journey and life the landscape under the volcano...
...Your article on the visit of Moscow's Chief Rabbi Yehuda Leib Levin [June 28] contained a number of misleading points. The American Jewish Conference on Soviet Jewry is not an "antiCommunist" group.

Kennedy Jr., 14, took an afternoon to try out a motor scooter in a brisk, hair-raising spin through the byways of the Bois de Boulogne. On the next lap of his summer work-vacation, Bobby pushes on to Dar-es-Salaam, on Africa's east coast. From there, Tanzanian game wardens will help him in his study of African wildlife-and Bobby will doubtless work with them in their efforts to conserve the herds of elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe, wildebeest and antelope that roam...
