...week's work capped the busiest month of the air campaign against the North. Flying some 150 missions a day, U.S. pilots hit North Viet Nam harder than ever before in the 21-year-old air war. The result was a growing confidence among airmen that at last they are hurting Ho measurably and meaningfully. Said the director of intelligence for the Seventh Air Force in Saigon, Brigadier General J. M. Philpott: "We're really doing...
...airlines, it was the busiest week of the year. By the tens of thousands, Americans were flying in from summer vacations, and foreign tourists were flying away after visits to the U.S. The resulting chaos at Kennedy gave ample warning of what lies ahead as the nation's airports approach what authorities call "complete saturation" in the surge of travelers to take their trips by air.

But while most of the war was confined to the Central Highlands and the borders of the DMZ, the Viet Cong methodically conquered all but one of the many fortified outposts that guarded the canal. Boatmen...
...gain for the day. On Tuesday, with 12,290,000 shares traded, the Dow managed to hold its gain; it finished 8.73 points up, and the industrial average stood at 912.97. The upsurge prompted so much eager buying on Wednesday that the New York Stock Exchange recorded its fourth busiest trading session in history. A total of 13,510,000 shares changed hands, and the industrial average went up another 9.3 points. So confident was the market that even President Johnson's call for a 10% tax surcharge failed to have a lasting effect. Thursday's market fell...
