...arrived last week in South Viet Nam, U.S. General Paul Donal Harkins, 57, found familiar scenes. Saigon's streets are thronged with U.S. soldiers clad in off-duty slacks and Hawaiian shirts. White-helmeted U.S. military police stroll in pairs past the bars and nightclubs of the Rue Catinat. In the high blue sky lie the geometric patterns of contrails from U.S. jets, and at Saigon's busy docks, U.S. ships unload wheat, flour, trucks and military hardware-all the material needed to complete Harkins' mission...

At sidewalk cafes, no one turned at the familiar wailing siren of an ambulance racing...
...August a plastic bomb was detonated at Lazareff's country home in St. Cloud. Other bombs have wrecked the apartments of three France-Soir reporters. Last week the S.A.O. struck again in the huge rabbit warren of a building on Paris' Rue Réaumur, where France-Soir is edited and printed. At 3 o'clock each working afternoon, some 20 news editors usually leave a conference and walk down a narrow staircase to their offices. On Wednesday, the conference was fortunately a little late in ending. At five minutes after 3, while the editors were still...
