Dashing into a bomb shelter at his Hanoi hotel during an alert, Salisbury bumped into four visiting U.S. women who belong to such organizations as the National Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Due next week are several clergymen, including U.S. Pacifist A. J. Muste, who has led antiwar rallies in New York, Washington and Saigon. Though the ladies and the preachers were traveling without clearance from the State Department, a total of 57 Americans-47 of them newsmen-have validated passports to visit the North.

...biggest target was the rugged, bomb-pocked Demilitarized Zone, where two North Vietnamese divisions have been massing for several months and funneling forces over the border. Last week one battalion of the 26th Marine Regiment had been searching for infiltrating forces for two days, when the infiltrators suddenly turned up under cover of fog and attacked two Marine positions. To back up the Marines, B-52 bombers swarmed in from Guam for the second straight week and blasted the area around the zone...
