...Communists executed more than 3,000 South Vietnamese in the former capital of Hue. Even though the brutality has been on a smaller scale during this year's Easter offensive, the Communists have murdered at least 200 people and imprisoned 6,000 in the Communist-controlled portion of Binh Dinh province.

The pilot, Gene Vaughn, 53, flew into Saigon anyway, and Thai-Binh sent him a second order written in blood-apparently his own. It got him nowhere; he was shot dead by a vacationing American...
Nguyen Thi Binh, Viet Cong foreign minister, said the ceasefire called for again Thursday by U.S. negotiator Willilam J.
