...both, was on the verge of widening the war. As long as, the Communists can move supplies more or less freely through Laos and Cambodia and retreat there to lick their wounds, the U.S. will find it difficult to drive them from the field completely. Nor will the "McNamara Wall" now being built along the DMZ be effective if the Communists can end-run around it in Laos. At some point, and last week's events indicate that it may be sooner rather than later, the U.S. may decide that the idea of sanctuary is a luxury that it cannot...
Purists still insist on an artistic division between modern dance and ballet: the one should be symbolic, angular, Freudian and sparse; the other dramatic, explicit and lush. But the wall between the two is crumbling rapidly. In any number of U.S. cities, a succession of ensembles on tour have given dance buffs ample opportunity to witness growing evidence of the intersection between modern dance and ballet.

Suddenly, defensive linemen had to be bigger, faster and infinitely smarter...
...dating from the 13th century, that justifies Mao's own role as the righteous bandit against the evil established order when he was waging civil war from the caves of Yenan. The puns and purposeful ambiguities of the Chinese language are explored, illuminating the Red Guards' raucous wall posters. China's hostility toward the outside world is as old as the Chinese sense of superiority. As a result, in China's foreign policy, the nation's pride is always in conflict with its innate pragmatism. It should be no surprise, Bloodworm says, that a Chinese...
