...recent years become known among smart Poles as a good place not only to take a vacation but also to turn an easy zloty or two in illegal housing, building and real estate. As the dimensions of Zakopane's non-Communist economy were revealed in the wake of the November raid, one Warsaw paper charged that the whole area had become "a mini-capitalist state...
Made in 1969 for Italian television, this mesmeric film is only now being released in America, in the wake of the wide acclaim for Bertolucci's The Conformist and in anticipation of the brouhaha over Last Tango in Paris (TIME cover, Jan. 22). Perhaps Tango may not SO much sweep up The Spider's Stratagem in its wake as swamp it. The Spider's Stratagem boasts no superstars in the cast, no odor of brimstone and no heavy hype. It should not need them. Less exotic than The Conformist or Tango, certainly more subtle and contained...
...things that way and we were too pleased with ourselves and busy to be the first ones to take that approach. Right after my class graduated in 1968 things started happening very fast.

Quang Tri city itself is total desolation. As far as the eye can see there is nothing but rubble-this and the protesting skeletons of former hospitals, offices and shops, as well as the blanketing mud that seems to follow lasciviously in the wake of war. Once home for 15,000 people, Quang Tri looks like Berlin in May 1945. It does, however, contain about 4,000 South Vietnamese troops, who are holding what General Lam Quang Thi, deputy commander of Military Region I, calls "the northern front." Although secure for the moment, it is a narrow front indeed. Across...
...childhood is the Ramsey menage of To the lighthouse. Her mother's death in 1895, when Virginia was 13, was the first in a series of premature crises. Her half-sister died two years later, through Leslie Stephen lasted until 1904. Virginia's mental health in the wake of all three deaths was dangerously unstable; in 1895 she went stark mad, heard voices, grew depressed, and refused to eat. In 1904, thinking she heard birds singing in Greek and Edward rustling in the azalea hedge, she threw herself from a window...
