They include wider use of South Vietnamese troops in "clear-and-hold" actions designed not only to rid villages of guerrillas but also to help them build a more productive society afterward, a top-priority program of land reform and agricultural modernization, and scrupulous observance of the Geneva conventions on war prisoners.

Together they build a buoyant vocal blend that floats easily through intricate harmonic shifts, toying with rhythms that are as fresh and bracing as ocean breezes. The quartet is now on a highly successful college tour, stands to make $1,000,000 this year...
Separate Ways. The High Authority has been sending groups of experts around to talk to coal and steel men, hoping to build up so much pressure that when the Community's Council of Ministers meets on Nov. 22 the French will be more friendly.
