WIDE RECEIVERS. J.D. Hill, Arizona State, 6 ft. 1 in., 197 lbs.; and Elmo Wright, Houston, 6 ft., 195 lbs. Hill has all the makings of the ideal pro receiver: the speed, the moves, the spring, the hands and the power to blast free after a catch. Whippet quick, he runs the 100 in 9.3 sec., an advantage he used to stunning effect in returning punts and kickoffs tor the Sun Devils. Hauling in 58 passes for ten touchdowns this season, Hill was the leading scorer in the Western Athletic Conference. Wright, as they say, "is one of those guys...

In fact, Saigon- long an ideal vantage point for "observing" the War from afar- is now the scene of an intensive political struggle. Workers, women, veterans, respectable politicians, religious leaders (including Roman Catholics, formerly among the most anti-Communist, enthusiastic supporters of the War), and of course students, have all taken a public stand in favor of hoa binh - peace. Moreover, for the first time, they have linked this peace with demands for: 1) withdrawal of "foreign" (i.e., American) troops...
Clark argues that excessively harsh anticrime tactics are doomed to long-term failure in the U.S. Though they often pay it mere lip service, Clark admits, Americans still cherish the ideal of equal justice for all citizens. Thev seem unlikely to accept the kind of force that would stamp out all crime-and freedom as well. Such force, he adds, can only incite more anger and violence...
