...Viet Nam's latest big battleground has come to be called, is weirdly unique. There, just south of the inaccurately named Demilitarized Zone, a task force of six Marine battalions has been battling two entire divisions of North Vietnamese regulars whose apparent aim is to invade Quang Tri province. So far the Reds have failed. Over the past few months, Hanoi's hordes have shifted away from their old infiltration route, the Ho Chi Minh trail, which empties into the isolated Central Highlands. Instead, more and more have been striking directly southward into the populous coastal plain...
...neon sculpture seems deceptively simple at first glance, sculpture through optics appears hopelessly complex. Mary Bauermeister contributes a lens box, or tri-level arrangement of lenses and optical patterns, some cemented to roating discs. Notes and sketches show that she visualized a rough relief map of her work before she began, and then worked out the specific effects as she went along. The final product is satisfying in its complexity but like all the works at the Rigelhaupt it demands time to be appreciated...

But the patient was not one of the U.S. Marines for whose after-battle care the big Navy hospital was primarily in tended. She was Hoi Pham Tri, a tiny, frail Vietnamese girl...
...case of Hoi Pham Tri illustrates the growing, voluntary response of U.S. military doctors and corpsmen to the medical problems of civilians. In the slack times between treating service men's wounds and illnesses, many doctors in the three medical corps have turned to treating the Vietnamese. Their motives are admittedly mixed. One is concern for the helpless, neglected sick; another is the challenge of severe cases. "Imagine!" says Dr. Pitlyk, "I wouldn't have seen a case like Hoi Pham's in five years at any emergency ward in the U.S., where people just...
