...Blowing smoke in their usual frantic fashions, the Press, TV and, surprisingly, TIME also have unreservedly stated that the V.C. can "strike at will virtually anywhere in the country" [Feb. 9]. You saved yourself by not adding "any time." Granted the attacks in the South were well executed and successful-but they were also their best effort. The sapper units by anyone's estimate suffered horribly. These units are not, as was inferred by many, inexhaustible, nor are they mere country folk. These were the invaluable, irreplaceable, Hanoi-trained hard-core V.C., Directorate members themselves possibly, and the devout...
...shelter, but they don't cringe when they get there." Except for an occasional case of what the corpsmen call "acute environmental reaction" (shell shock), the Marines at Khe Sanh are taking their ordeal with considerable composure. Only their unwelcome bunkermates-the rats-be come frantic under fire. When the "in coming" starts, the rats race for the bunkers and wildly run up to the ceilings made of runway matting and logs.

Texas-Size Growth. Even established public multiversities are building in frantic fashion.

At its crowded, overgrown Berkeley campus, steelworkers clinging to an open I beam are as much a part of the Sproul Plaza scene as are the hippie protesters. Texas-size is the right phrase for that state's major public university, which has spread to ten campuses in seven cities with 52,631 students, 1,500 teachers...
...corporate tax collections; most of all, it reflected wide expectation that the Reserve Board might tighten up on credit or that the Government would pre-empt borrowable funds. Auto sales dropped to about 8,400,000, 7% below their 1966 level. "Mystified businessmen are still waiting for the frantic days that they were told lay ahead," complains Research Director Albert Sommers of the National Industrial Conference Board...
