- Jam Session
-
- Vietnam's communist rulers have recently discussed ways to jam what
- they consider unfriendly foreign radio broadcasts. They say they are
- particularly irritated at the Vietnamese-language broadcasts of the British
- Broadcasting Corp., Radio France International and Moscow-based Radio Irina,
- which regularly carry reports about abuses by the party and interviews with
- Vietnamese dissidents. Officials are worried that Washington's proposed Radio
- Free Asia may soon join the attacks on Hanoi.

- Bad Words
-
- Hanoi has closed Co Viet, a popular literary magazine published in the
- central Vietnamese province of Quang Tri. Its editors angered the communist
- party's ideology department in October by publishing a poem by the popular
- southern poet Nguyen Duy, which readers interpreted as saying that the
- government was as useless as carbon dioxide in people's lives. The same issue
- carried a short story by novelist Bao Ninh that warned soldiers they were
- foolish to blindly follow the party's orders, and an interview with southern
- writer Nguyen Ngoc in which he called on the party to allow quality literature
- written prior the 1975 communist victory to be reprinted.
