- <p> BETTER RED THAN UNFED. Viet Nam's aging Communist hierarchy
- has sent a clear signal that major Soviet-style political
- reforms are out of the question. This aversion to change stems
- both from ideology and practicality. Hanoi, long allied with
- Moscow and at odds with Beijing, has been offered $2.1 billion
- in aid from China to cover a projected shortfall in Soviet
- assistance. The collateral: a commitment from Hanoi to keep
- glasnost from breaking out near China's southern border.
