...bridge and then leaving it alone for a while, the system calls for flyers to make continuous "multiple cuts" in roads and rail lines, trapping trains and trucks between the gaps and leaving them exposed to U.S. planes (see THE WORLD). Last week's strikes at Haiphong and Cam Pha, the North's first and third biggest ports, signaled a shift to the next step-isolating the ports by blasting roads, marshaling yards and rail sidings around dock areas. > Antiaircraft and SAM-missile fire from the ground has fallen off dramatically in some areas, thanks largely to shortages...
Flying through cloud-laden skies that signaled the approaching monsoons, Navy attack planes from the carriers Oriskany and Coral Sea rained bombs and missiles for the first time on the port of Cam Pha, which is only 46 miles northeast of Haiphong and serves as its auxiliary port. Under congressional pressure to hit North Viet Nam harder, President Johnson gave the go-ahead to bomb Cam Pha when no ships were at the piers, thus seeking to avoid hitting any Russian vessels. After Navy scouts found the right moment, the raiders demolished Cam Pha's wharves, badly damaged...
...vote from the countryside that swept Thieu into the presidency as he took 38 provinces to bolster the lead he piled up in the cities of Dalat, Vung Tau and Cam Ranh.

Arrested for transporting a .30-cal. carbine over state lines while under indictment for his role in the Cam bridge, Md., riots the previous month, Brown was released only after his bail had been reduced from $25,000 to $15,000 (bondsmen would not put up the bail, which had to be raised in toto among S.N.C.C sympathizers). "If President Johnson is worried about my rifle," he said on leaving jail, "wait until I get my atom bomb...
Since Watts, television stations have learned that the presence of lights, cam eras and reporters often inflame riot ers; and overdramatic coverage attracts more rioters to the scene. This summer the networks instructed their news staffs to be as unobtrusive as possible in riot areas, to travel in unmarked cars, to avoid the use of lights, and to cap their lenses when it was obvious that people were performing for the cam era. The Justice Department asked for cooperation in withholding news until violence was under control (TIME, July 14). Broadcasters were also told to check out rumors carefully before...
