After the first one-and-a-half mile loop, the pace began to wear down Downey and Yunek. Colburn and Koerner, with help from John Heyburn, then tried to break Stafford...

Seeming contradictions abound in the American mood. Four-fifths of the nation profess to be "fed up and tired of the war"; yet half do not want to see the U.S. "cut and run" from Southeast Asia, and more than half believe the present pace of troop withdrawals is about right or too fast.

Yet a majority still hope to preserve a non-Communist regime in Saigon...

Even the U.S.S.R. puts up more housing than the U.S., though the Soviets' prefabricated apartments are so cramped and shoddy that most would be unrentable to middle-class Americans. George Romney, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, calculates...
