...Poland and West Germany. The dispute focuses on West Germany's reluctance to comply with the Polish demand that the Oder-Neisse boundary, which ceded one-fourth of prewar Germany to Poland, should be recognized as final (see story, page 35).

The stated reason for spraying the crops-which all belong to Montagnard tribesmen -was that the Army suspects the harvest was being given to the Viet Cong. Knowledgeable observers point out that the traditional ethnic hatred between Montagnards and all other Vietnamese makes it unlikely they would voluntarily supply food to either side...
Beyond the invincible rags-to-riches theme, The Rothschilds also has ethnic appeal: it is a quest for manhood and release from the oppression that Jews suffered in the ghettos of Europe...
