Last week U.S. troops tried the same sort of tactics-with far different equipment. As ground fighting flared up after a two-week lull, the Navy, Army and Air Force teamed with South Vietnamese regulars and staged a river assault reminiscent of Civil War engagements on the Lower Mississippi. They steamed off to battle in a "river assault flotilla" consisting of two converted World War II armored troop carriers and one "Monitor" gunboat that can slither along like water moccasins in shallow inlets and stand up to direct hits from recoilless rifles...

Catcher Tim McCarver, whose lifetime average is only .278, banged out 16 hits in 36 trips to the plate to raise his 1967 average to over .330.

They earn 30? a month. If the girls, who are 17 and up, become pregnant while on active duty, they get two months' leave and a maternity benefit of $2.25.

...Brooklyn-born Jew, Schutzer personally pleaded with Defense Minister Dayan to let him join the front-line assault on the Gaza Strip. "I feel terribly involved in this fight," he said. It was not the first time Schutzer had asked to be up front. A LIFE photographer since 1956, he had covered the Marine landing in Lebanon in 1958; the Algerian war; Richard Nixon's tempestuous Latin American tour; hurricanes; earthquakes. In 1965, he joined the Marines in an amphibious landing in Viet Nam, took pictures that eloquently expressed the human suffering of war. Dayan granted Schutzer...
