...cost of aggression for Hanoi in two weeks, following the decision to mine North Vietnamese rivers and bombard the Red homeland from naval guns at sea and long-range artillery firing across the border (TIME, March 10). It was by far the most serious warning yet administered to Ho Chi Minh that American restraint has its limits. Unless Hanoi's supply and infiltration of South Viet Nam slows, its sanctuaries are likely to continue to shrink and the roster of fresh targets to grow ever longer...
...Sino-American collision in Asia. And the two powers behind the present conflict will sooner or later come to realize that they cannot win a complete victory by mere force. The U.S. seems to be aware that it cannot defeat Communist China, the great power reserve behind the Ho regime, without precipitating all-out nuclear war. And China, even before it fell into the present state of confusion, seemed to know that the U.S. is militarily unbeatable. This rational realization will eventually compel both sides to a political settlement...
...country of the endless frontier, of the big sky, of manifest destiny, of unlimited resources, of 'Go west, young man,' of opportunity for all, of rags to riches, mass production, nothing to fear but fear itself, technical know-how, a chicken in every pot, gung-ho and can do.

We have been primarily concerned to establish a form of government-government of the people, by the people, and for the people...
...MINING WATERWAYS. The aerial bombing of Ho Chi Minh's realm has successively diverted traffic from rail to road and, increasingly, from road to water. To impede two of the water supply routes, Navy A-6 jets took off from the carrier Enterprise by night and dropped mines to the bottom of the Song Ca and Kien Giang rivers. The U.S. uses several varieties of mines, which can be touched off variously by contact, by magnetic detection of a metal hull passing overhead, by sound, or even by the slight change in water pressure caused by any boat within...
...British Prime Minister was not speaking to Ho Chi Minh, Charles de Gaulle or Ted Heath but to members of his own party. They were 60 or so dissident, left-wing Labor M.P.s who for months have been snapping at Wilson's policies. The rebels have outspokenly opposed his stands on Viet Nam (too hard), Rhodesia (too soft), the wage freeze (too tough on the working class), defense (too expensive), and possible entry into the Common Market (too great a surrender of sovereignty). If the rebels do not swing back in line, warned Wilson, he might just call...
