...from another term. U.S. business is more than ever on the side of an early peace, as evidenced in part by Wall Street: new peace probes or rumors generally send stock prices jumping upward. Still, it is the campuses that offer the most vocal opposition and provide the broadest base for organized protest. The entire academic community seems as stirred as ever about the lingering combat. Last week University of Michigan President Robben Fleming personally launched a two-day campus teach-in at Ann Arbor with a sharp antiwar speech. Rutgers President Mason W. Gross, who also heads the American...
...DELTA: The first test may well come in the rice-rich Mekong Delta, the South's most populous region. On Sept. 1, the U.S. 9th Infantry Division turned its base at Dong Tarn over to the South Vietnamese Army. During its more than two years of operations, the 9th all but eliminated main-force Viet Cong units, which had previously controlled the area.

But as the barbs were dulled, what was left took on a distinct resemblance to Father Knows Best...
...many ways it has become a microcosm of America two-thirds of the way through the century. The "South-side," the Southern central half of the state where tobacco is still a cash crop, was no longer the base for the Byrds-the elite-who had ruled the state for so long until 1969. Like the South of today, black voter registration has upset the old formulas. The area has the same problems-integration, hunger, and a white voting majority (but one which has to deal with a higher percentage of Negrovoters) -that most of the rest of the South...
