...escalation by Hanoi to abet peace talks nor the possibility that the Communist forces were so shattered by their recent losses that they could not fight at all. Instead, there was every indication that the Communists were simply hiding out while they got resupplied for fresh offensives. Down the Ho Chi Minh Trail poured a steady stream of North Vietnamese trucks, headlights brazenly ablaze in the night. The infiltration of men from the North is running far above the usual estimates of 6,000 to 6,500 a month-perhaps as much as twice that number. From February...
Ominous Threat. Chanting their war cry, "Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Minh!", students, many of whom wore protective helmets and carried heavy clubs, went on rampages in virtually every major German city. Almost everywhere they went, they blockaded and sometimes stoned the local printing plants of conservative Publisher Axel Springer, whose newspapers, notably the mass-circulation Bild-Zeitung, have denounced their restive leftist tendencies.

At that date, and with unswerving conviction ever since, the U.S. insisted that it only wanted the Communists to "leave...
...Wolfe examines the confusion of accents in the city and how they unfailingly give away the speaker's social status. Milton Glaser and Jerome Snyder visit "one of the last remaining Old World markers" under the elevated in East Harlem. Gloria Steinem re-creates the years that Ho Chi Minh spent in New York, when he worked as a waiter and laundryman. And a freelance reviewer, Clare Boothe Luce, discovers that John Kenneth Galbraith is a better economist than novelist when she reviews his first novel Triumph, about U.S. fumbling in a Latin American country...
