There has been little restoration inside the Citadel, the 2¼-sq.-mi. complex of huge fortified walls, moats and gardens that shields the old Imperial City. The fighting was heaviest inside its walls, and so was the damage. TIME Correspondent David Greenway, who covered some of the grimmest fighting a year ago, returned recently to Hué. He recalls crouching in a house near the Citadel's east wall while waiting for an air strike. With him was a grimy U.S. Marine sergeant. Amid the noise of small arms and mortar rounds, the Marine muttered, "We sure...
Real Buff. Bowie Kuhn, a distant relative of the knife-wielding frontier hero, Jim Bowie, may be just the man to cut through the encrustations of baseball. At 6 ft. 5 in. and 230 lbs., he looks more like a retired tackle than a Wall Street lawyer whose chief passion is gardening. The great-great-grandson of Maryland Governor Robert Bowie, he was raised in Washington, D.C.

Practically every house and mutual fund has one or more chartists in its research department, and thou sands of individual subscribers pay any where from $150 to $500 a year for the scores of weekly market advisories that they prepare. "Today," says Ward, "everybody listens...
Swinging with the Smart. The technicians practice Wall Street's most ar cane - some are unkind enough to say inane - art. In deciding whether to buy or sell a stock, the purists among them profess to care less about such fundamentals as a company's assets, its earnings, its management or even what it does. Instead, the chartists divine the fu ture of a stock by poring over a dis play of its past performance. The zigs and zags may ignore the fundamental "facts," but more important, technicians argue, the charts reflect what the mar ket knows...
