Though Islamabad has ordered the military command to ease off on its repressive tactics, refugees are still trekking into India at the rate of about 30,000 a day, telling of villages burned, residents shot, and prominent figures carried off and never heard from again. One of the more horrible revelations concerns 563 young Bengali women, some only 18, who have been held captive inside Dacca's dingy military cantonment since the first days of the fighting. Seized from Dacca University and private homes and forced into military brothels, the girls are all three to five months pregnant...
Slap in the Face. The U.S. command has tried with only limited success to protect Pace and similar bases strung along the Cambodian border by means of B-52 raids and assaults by helicopter gunships. As a result, despite orders to keep casualties down, U.S. officers have been compelled to send Americans out on patrols to protect some bases themselves. Few G.I.s in Viet Nam these days are unaffected by the "I don't want to be the last man shot" syndrome. Thus, when such a patrol was ordered at Fire Base Pace last week, five...
...last bits of bunting over decorative arches and buildings when a convoy of uninvited guests arrived to help them celebrate the institution's 25th anniversary last week. Onto the campus poured helmeted, tiger-suited, carbine-packing troops of the country's toughest army unit, the Seoul Garrison Command.

Officers were told to drop such forms of address as "bud," "chum," "fellow" and "lady" in favor of "sir," "madame" and "miss." Other command tips: "Remember that your thoughts and emotions are revealed by facial expression, tone of voice or a gesture. No matter how cynical a police officer becomes, he should not let feelings affect his behavior in public. Never raise your voice. A big mouth does not indicate a big brain." When responding to a complaint, the policeman should...
...back to Baltimore and game No. 6. At first, the Pirates still seemed in command. With the incomparable Clemente leading the way (a triple, an opposite-field home run in his first two at-bats), the Bucs jumped off to an early 2-0 lead. Pirate Starter Bob Moose effectively clipped the Oriole wings through five innings, extending the Birds' runless skein to 22 innings. Then Baltimore Leftfielder Don Buford drilled a home run in the sixth. The Orioles tied the game on two singles in the seventh, and it stayed tied until the tenth. With one out, Frank...
