...first circulation manager and now a vice chairman of Time Inc. "Of course I was quite pleased so many accepted, since it showed a lot of people believed in us and in what we were trying to do." He best remembers the faith shown by a young American priest, whose check was accompanied by a note ordering "the renewal of my subscription for life and forever." Decades later this subscriber, Francis Cardinal Spellman, informed Larsen that his copy of TIME was still arriving regularly. Indeed, explained the Archbishop of New York, his perpetual subscription represented one-third...
...potential for civil strife is there. This summer young Khalq Party ideologues were appointed as district officials among fierce Pathan tribesmen in the eastern mountains. They arrived telling the tribesmen that the forests now belonged to the people, the party and the government.

Dodge (Richard Hamilton), the grandfather, is a prickly relic whose security blanket is the whisky bottle under it. His wife Halie (Jacqueline Brookes) is the voice of the nag incarnate. The eldest son Tilden (Tom Noonan) is laconic, even for a neo-Neanderthal. For him, the barren fields yield armfuls of corn and carrots, which are duly shucked, sliced and nibbled onstage...
