...Wood. But "the Rock-pile," as 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.

...Hoving states. "Are they supposed, like the ailanthus, to struggle for survival by thrusting themselves through cracks in the hardtop? I don't think so." To make sure that New Yorkers will have greensward to play on and open spaces in which to breathe is Hoving's aim. He is working on everything from a "green belt" park for Staten Island to far-out projects for concrete piers with swimming pools in the Hudson.
