...biggest in a week of continued enemy pressure and Allied counterthrust in the five northernmost provinces of South Viet Nam that comprise I Corps. After the Reds struck in a brief terror attack on the ancient imperial capital of Hue, U.S. Marines from the Seventh Fleet launched Operation Bear Bite. A force of some 2,000 leathernecks streamed ashore 21 miles northeast of Hue in an amphibious and heliborne assault. Sporadic fighting also broke out along the Demilitarized Zone, where the Marines discovered and destroyed no fewer than 77 Communist bunkers, stacked with food and supplies, within a three-mile...
...vapid Eurydice-it was almost overshadowed by Zachary Solov's spirited, stylish choreography, brilliantly danced by New York City Ballet Stars Melissa Hayden and Jacques D'Amboise. With the help of Jack G.

Joe's always horsing around doing things like converting to Mohammedanism at the lousy military school up in the goddam mountains so he can sleep with his Muslim classmate...
Nasser spared few of his Arab brothers his scorn. He attacked King Feisal of Saudi Arabia as an "Anglo-American agent" who is "like a snake seeking to bite." He dismissed King Hussein of Jordan as "an employee of the CIA." Classifying his foes under the Communist label of "imperialistic stooges," he also called President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia and the Shah of Iran "only the tools of America." He accused members of the federal government of Aden of being "traitors and agents" and called upon them to resign and do penance. Traveling further afield, he claimed that West Germany...
