Down in the south is the country's top soldier, General Phoumi Nosavan, 40, who does not like Communists and says that the prince in Vientiane cannot tell a Red from a banyan tree.

...list of George Abbottt successes stands as a theater legend: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," "Wonderful Town," "Call Me Madam," "Where's Charley?"
