...talk of escalation, though, the targets were familiar: Hanoi's power plant, 1.1 miles from the city, for example, and the Canal des Rapides Bridge, about five miles away. The only new target on the list last week was the naval base at Port Wallut, about 30 miles south of China...
...Pentagon's "Bombing Encyclopedia" for North Viet Nam lists 18,000 potential targets, ranging from a tumbledown bamboo bridge over a little-used canal to Ho Chi Minh's Hanoi headquarters. Only 5,000 of them are considered militarily significant, and most can be attacked at the Pentagon's discretion.

He has suggested that he might be ready to bring the Yemen war to an end, and he has hinted that he would like to restore diplomatic ties with the U.S. But to accept Israel as Tito proposed still seems to be too bitter a pill for defeated Arabs to swallow. Obviously even Tito had his doubts...
