While Locke handles the embassy's day-today proceedings, the key job of pacification will fall to another Johnson favorite: Presidential Adviser Robert Komer, 45. A former CIA agent known as "The Blowtorch" for his incendiary manner, Komer will doubtless take over Porter's Office of Civilian Operations (OCO), which was put together in less than two months last year to combine and direct all U.S. civil operations in the field. Already, 4,000 of South Viet Nam's 14,000 hamlets are adjudged "secure"; under the scorch of Komer's torch, at least...
...students outside school passed a bitter judgment on his fellow volunteers in a special memorandum written for Peace Corps officials. After outlining ways in which he thought volunteers could improve education in their schools, he concluded by saying: "Oddly enough, the most vehement opposition to such proposals will doubtless come from the most unlikely of sources: volunteers themselves. We already know that Ivory Coast Peace Corps teachers are the highest paid, best lodged, best fed in the world.

Since Japan is fated, for better or worse, to a continuing urban growth and a growing urban malaise, it is mass parties of the Komeito brand that will doubtless dictate Japan's political future...
...principal figure in the homosexual love fantasies of the narrator. Much of the force of Miracle of the Rose depends on the authenticity of the prison argot. As a ten-time loser who has spent a good part of his first 35 years in reformatories and jails, Genet doubtless knows the con's language like a native, but when it comes to English equivalents, Translator Frechtman has no luck at all. Genet, who is a practicing pervert and retired male prostitute, presumably knows the camp language exchanged by consenting adults. And it is hard to believe, for example, that...
