...holocaust were very much on the military's mind, but there was optimism as well. In the delta's lush Ba Xuyen province, a district chief discounted chances of a VC attack: "We've driven them out and I think they know better than to return." Earlier in the week, the enemy had mounted a minioffensive: 70 cities and bases were shelled or mortared one night, 44 the next. But as Tet neared, the activity died -so much so that on the first day of the holiday, a Vietnamese army spokesman had nothing more...
...firms of Mannesmann and Thyssen will deliver 1,200,000 tons of 56-inch steel pipe, designed to withstand extreme cold, to Russia. The Soviets need it for pipelines to open the natural gas reserves of Siberia, the world's richest. In return, the Soviets will send to West Germany 52 billion cubic meters of gas over 20 years, starting in 1973. To enable the Soviets to pay for the pipe before they deliver the gas, a consortium of 17 West German banks will lend them $328 million at 6.25% interest-practically foreign-aid terms.

The incongruities somehow blend into a consistent display of Balanchine's mastery of forms. Who Cares...

But Michael admitted that after the year's layoff, Vance is not as fast as he used to be, and with the help of Paul Horvitz, Harvard may very well sweep the 50-free...
...goes much farther than any motion picture in a long time in describing America's inner tensions and conflicts. A "period" film, it takes as its subject a dramatic slice of the Irish miners in Pennsylvania. It focuses on the miners at a time when they are compelled to return to work after an unsuccessful six-month strike. This is in 1876, long before American labor was bought off- at the time when the Molly Maguires were a secret revolutionary terrorist group who exploded mines and killed foremen. The mine owners sent in a detective to infiltrate and expose...
