...Cambodian high," as the phenomenon was beginning to be called, had a dramatic effect on ARVN morale. "When we went across the border," says President Nguyen Van Thieu, "I had almost every general in the country calling me on the phone, saying 'I want to go to Cambodia.'" Ordinarily, 600 ARVN troops would show up for a 4th Marine Battalion roll call in Saigon; last week, after word arrived that the 4th was headed for Cambodia, all 800 showed...
...Easy Way. Operating with a full complement of U.S. hardware and a minimum of U.S. advisers and logistical support, ARVN units have employed their new-found mobility to the fullest.

A week or so ago, it was "Desperate Gamble," then last week it was "Crisis of Leadership." [This is] "Isolation...
INDOCHINA. Defoliation and bombing in Viet Nam, in addition to killing off many species, has driven most of that nation's elephants, monkeys and rhinos to the doubtful sanctuaries of Cambodia and Laos. Only the tigers have stayed behind-to feed on human battlefield casualties...
