...ho ho, the big monsoon/ If things get any worse, we'll be fishes soon" gurgled Eliot Hall last night, to win Radcliffe's annual Song-Fest. The contest was originally scheduled for the Quad, but Eliot prognosticators had the only slickers and umbrellas in the crowd, so it was moved into Cabot...
Nonrecognition of Peking was the only possible course for the United States as long as the Chinese Communists participated as aggressors in the Korean War, trained officers and men for the aggressive war in Indo-China, and assisted in supplying arms from Czechoslovakia and Russia to the Ho Chi Minh forces. Now there remain its preparations for a war against Formosa. So long as these continue, recognition is still impossible...
...decades wisp-whiskered Ho Chi Minh sipped at the savory cup of intrigue, conspiracy and revolution. Then, with the partitioning of Viet Nam at Geneva, he abruptly became President of Communist North Viet Nam.

Last month, turning over the premiership to his trusted lieutenant, Pham Van Dong, "Uncle" Ho withdrew from the public eye. He even neglected to send his usual "Dear nephews and nieces" greeting to the mid-autumn festival...
Almost immediately, toothy Premier Dong found that he had chewed off a peck of troubles. When, last fortnight, he held his first Cabinet meeting (absent: President Ho), Hanoi's streets were still littered with the debris of Typhoon Kate, which had sunk junks and barges, torn up railroad tracks, burst dikes and spun off thatched roofs as though they were flying saucers.

Meanwhile, what of Ho? Some observers guess that he longs for untroubled retirement. Others think he has lost his grip, may be forced out. A less wishful and probably sounder conjecture is that Ho has gone back to his old trick of standing behind the lines and quarterbacking Communist strategy for all Southeast Asia. Old revolutionaries may die, but with revolution to be done they do not just fade away. In Red eyes, there is revolution to be done in Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaya, and across the Malacca Strait in Indonesia...
