...dissidents, the now leaderless forces of Robert Kennedy and Nelson Rockefeller's supporters. They condemn it, sometimes indiscriminately, as an outworn relic of bossism and a negation of the popular will. Since the delegates to the national conventions do not directly represent the voters, runs the simplest argument, the conventions conducted by the parties do not really pick candidates who are the people's choice...
Critics' Charges. The Chancellor's testimony was certain to have considerable psychological and political significance at home and abroad. In Germany, it will buttress the argument that the great mass of Germans, including even those in relatively high places, were innocent of any knowledge that 6,000,000 Jews and at least 1,000,000 other persons, including many Germans, were dying unspeakable deaths in extermination centers. Abroad, it will only further provoke Germany's critics, who contend that many Germans knew what was happening but refused to admit that they knew...
...American Challenge has already drawn much attention in Europe and the U.S.; it was a record-breaking 1967 bestseller in France (TIME, Nov. 24).

Khe Sanh had been a U.S. Special Forces camp, with the task of blocking and monitoring infiltration routes from the North.

The Marines were not anxious to make a stand there: they sat at the end of a 27-mile supply line on Communist-interdicted Highway...
...October may well be the product of plant photosynthesis. Jupiter, said NASA Chemist Cyril Ponnamperuma, has an atmosphere similar to that which enveloped the earth during its first 100 million years; the swirling Jovian gases, he added, may already have combined into basic life-building molecules. But the strongest argument was made on behalf of Mars. Despite its freezing temperatures and apparent lack of oxygen, explained NASA Microbiologist Harold P. Klein, life could have been spawned when the red planet's climate was more favorable. Whatever form that life once had, it may have survived over the ages through...
