Within his own party, L.B.J.'s Viet Nam policy won strong backing. The evidence is that 56% of Democrats who favor his renomination cite his position on the war as the main reason. In contrast, Senator McCarthy of Minnesota, whose explicit aim in running is to attack that policy, has so far drummed up scant support. Nor does an avalanche of write-ins appear imminent for Bobby Kennedy, another critic of the war policy, who is not on the ballot and has discouraged any campaigning on his behalf...
...admission, a musical almanac "going from Beethoven to Schoenberg in five minutes." Harmonically it shows a startling resourcefulness, both tonal and non-tonal. Particularly amusing was the recurrence of a particularly slushy theme, either because of the humorous contrast with Pousseur's art, or perhaps due to its explicit banality in the Pousseur context...
...Lawrence was a paladin of explicit sex in a world still impressed by censors; he might be surprised to see how his novella The Fox had to be fixed up for 1968 movie audiences. Sex had to be put in rather than taken out. Director Mark Rydell has seen fit to heat his movie up with three gratuitous physical set-tos-girl and man in hunting cabin, girl and girl in bed, girl and herself in bathroom. The result is slick, sick psychological melodrama...
...captured enemy documents of recent months are even more explicit in revealing the Communist strategy, and give some remarkable insights into the tunnel vision with which Hanoi views the U.S. and the course of the conflict in South Viet Nam. One says that "the time is ripe for implementation of a general uprising to take over powers in South Viet Nam. The masses are ready for action."

Violating His Own Precepts. Such explicit counsel would seem to run counter to Giap's oft-expressed public warning that North Viet Nam is ready to fight for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years to defeat the U.S. in Viet Nam. And there is also much in Giap's new strategy that flies in the face of his own guerrilla doctrine of warfare. One of his maxims is to fight only when the odds are overwhelmingly in his favor and success is certain, a precept that his troops violated nearly everywhere they struck in the course of his general offensive...
