...Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong, descended on Paris proclaiming their status as "equal partner" with the U.S., the North Vietnamese and the South Vietnamese. While the South Vietnamese dithered over whether to attend the talks, the Front's representatives in Paris quickly set out to portray the N.L.F. as something that it is not-a government with the power to speak for itself and the people it controls...
...model productions are revolutionary in more than one sense. All the traditional elements of Peking opera except the singing have disappeared. Antiseptic plots portray the struggles of workers, peasants and soldiers against landlords and imperialists. The performers, appearing in subdued makeup and homespun cotton garments, substitute unadorned realism for symbolic ritual. The scores are laden with inspirational hymns and martial effects...
...avoiding, for example, his irregular attitude toward the divinity, which seems to have ranged from outright negation to the most grudging and unsettling sort of affirmation. In The Bacchae, the gods are gods indeed, but their order is--besides whimsical--cruel and misguided.

The art advisory committee, under the chairmanship of Washington Insuranceman-Collector David Lloyd Kreeger, had no difficulty...
Idyllic Suburb. Those advertisers who have crossed the color line are now confronted with a new problem: how to portray the Negro. Self-conscious to a fault, integrated commercials never show a Negro as a heavy or in a menial position. Nor are blacks ever afflicted with bad breath or body odor. Kool cigarettes, for example, casts a Negro actor as a bright young trial lawyer; Viceroy casts another as a bright young stockbroker. Schaefer beer has a junior executive type who plays hand ball at the club with a white friend, who throws his arm around his shoulder...
