...Weyand, the U.S. Area Commander: "For every day the road is closed, the price of rice in Saigon goes up 10 piasters [20]." In the past fortnight, the Viet Cong concentrated three hard-core battalions near Route 4 and mined the road eight times, bringing traffic to a virtual stop. The V.C. were obviously trying to push up food prices just as the presidential campaign began...

As some economists see it, the Kennedy Round also means the virtual demise of tariffs as an important obstacle to trade. On thousands of manufactured goods-including autos, machinery, ceramics, cameras and hats-most industrial countries agreed to slash their tariffs by the full 50% that Kennedy originally sought. As a result, the average tariff wall around U.S., British and Canadian imports will...
