...development that increasingly troubles U.S. strategists is the supply line that the Communists have established through Cambodia to circumvent the dangerous U.S. bombings of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. North Vietnamese and Red Chinese cargo ships are docking at the Cambodian port of Sihanoukville, where Jacqueline Kennedy only a few weeks ago with much éclat dedicated a new Avenue J. F. Kennedy. Then the supplies, particularly ammunition, are trucked along the U.S. aid-built highway to Pnompenh, whence they are moved east to South Viet Nam and into the battlefield...

Astride the valley sits Dak To, until three weeks ago a dusty airstrip guarded by one U.S. battalion...
...bestsellers have turned out to be a brown tweed suit with cape and brown velvet evening ensembles.

He said that "America did not come to Asia to help yellow people; it came to exploit Asia as a neocolonialist power." Later, he took time out from escorting Jackie to receive the new Czech Ambassador to Cambodia and condemn...
...ranking U.S. AID official kidnaped by the Viet Cong in Saigon in February 1965; reportedly of malaria; somewhere in Viet Nam. For almost three years his family, friends and the U.S. Government explored every channel, diplomatic and private, seeking his release. Last week his wife received a letter from Cambodia's Prince Sihanouk stating that her husband had died in captivity on Sept. 24. Sihanouk's source: Nguyen Huu Tho, leader of the V.C.'s National Liberation Front...
