That was evidence enough of the fresh influx of North Vietnamese troops that U.S. intelligence had long anticipated once the rainy season ended. Where the infiltration rate down the Ho Chi Minh trail was once 1,000 a month, it is now probably running 2,500, bringing, to date, seven, possibly eight North Vietnamese regiments into South Viet...
