...week's second skyjacking, the other being the bold abduction of a German plane that forced the release of Arab terrorists (see THE WORLD). In a season of ever more daring and dangerous aerial piracy, the Houston affair was perhaps the most bizarre to date. The leader of the hijackers was Charles Tuller, 48, a federal bureaucrat gone berserk. Going along for the ride were his two sons, Bryce, 19, and Jonathan, 18, and a friend of theirs, William Graham, 18. Only the week before, Tuller & Sons and Graham, two of them posing as telephone repairmen, had entered...

American jets in search of visible targets have destroyed countless hospitals, churches and even cathedrals, as well as residential suburbs. Considering the sheer size of the bombing campaign-more than 33,000 sorties were flown over North Viet Nam during the first five months of the offensive-it is almost impossible for U.S. pilots to avoid damaging some civilian structures. The North Vietnamese...
