Fischer was no sooner sentenced than thousands of poster-waving university Students (WHERE HAVE ALL THE FREEDOMS GONE?) took to the streets in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Grahamstown, protesting still another example of South African justice.

That left two major sweeps still in progress: Operation Nevada, a search-and-destroy mission by several U.S. Marine battalions in the Cape Batagan Peninsula, which has so far killed 42 Viet Cong, and Operation Fillmore, a sweep through Phu Yen province by the 101st Airborne Division, whose troopers have killed 149 of the enemy in the past 20 days...
