...anti-personnel bomb that explodes 30 yds. above the ground, spewing tiny fléchettes (steel darts) over a block-square area. Among the dead was a young North Vietnamese lieutenant named Ngo. In his diary, he told of the arduous trip down the long Ho Chi Minh trail that began last November. It ended last week on the barbed wire before Kannack. "My life is very hard," he wrote. "There is not enough to eat, and all the time the planes bomb...

...fine, as the CRIMSON suggests, to talk with Ho Chl Minh, but if "a united Vietnam will be communist," talk is all we can afford. There is no good solution. The Chinese want Vietnam; we do not want them to have it. An alliance with Cambodia and Indonesia against Thailand and Malaysia resulting in the absorption of the partners into the Chinese camp would be too easy for Mao Tse-tung if be controlled Vietnam. We must act with courage in order to avoid such a result. Trusting in our military might and determination we must act now to protect...
