TODAY'S Vietnam Moratorium will be the largest and probably the most important single protest against the American intervention in Vietnam since the war began. Whether or not such protests as these can ever by themselves succeed in forcing the Administration to withdraw from Vietnam, a successful Moratorium will clearly indicate to President Nixon that the political costs of continuing the war into the months ahead will be far greater than they have been until now.

...things that credit cards cannot buy. So last week the Bank of America, the nation's largest, came to the aid of cash-short consumers by installing an automatic "cash dispenser" outside one of its branches in San Francisco. Anyone with a checking account at the bank can withdraw $25 simply by inserting a plastic identification card and punching a code number on a ten-digit keyboard.
