...appears to be moving in the opposite direction. One important indication is a new book by Soviet Economist Yevsei Liberman, whose earlier espousal of the profit motive and decentralized industrial management caused some experimentation with economic reform in the early 1960s. Liberman has now decided that free markets cannot function within a Communist society and are in fact "anti-Leninist...
Jubilant Shout. Schwitters did not invent collage as a medium-Braque and Picasso were ahead of him. But when he began making his first assembled images in 1918, he managed to shift the function and look of collage far from its cubist origins. He rummaged through the trash cans of his native Hannover the way an archaeologist might pick over a buried midden heap, on the sound theory that a culture reveals itself in what it throws away. Schwitters was the first to make poetry of this fact, calling his collages "Merz-pictures." The word came from a fragment...
Mangrove forests in Vietnam traditionally grow very fast. They trap silt and function to increase land area, extending the shoreline out into the water at a rapid rate. Now, due to American herbicide use, that natural role has been reversed for about half of the forests. The trees are dead and the presence of crabs which eat seedlings insures that new trees will not soon return. Moreover, the major mangrove spraying was done five and six years ago-a major typhoon is likely soon which will probably greatly increase erosion and physically change the coastline and delta regions...

Unlike Vietnam, where its main function was intelligence-gathering, the CIA has been intimately involved in operations here. It directs the 30,000-man Armee Clandestine, which does the bulk of the fighting. And with its own team of photo interpreters, control of reconnaissance aircraft, and teams of local ground observers, the CIA has played a key role in targeting sessions as well. As the Armee Clandestine began suffering reverses on the ground, the CIA held that heavy bombing of the Pathet Lao civilian infrastructure was necessary...
