...proposal is a brave one, but not likely to solve the central problem. People won't submit to it," said Wyon...
...well. Out over the cabbies' crackling VHP radio band went the rumor that white cops had killed a Negro driver. Within minutes, cabs and crowds were converging on the grey stone headquarters of the Fourth Precinct in the heart of Newark's over crowded, overwhelmingly Negro Central Ward. By midnight, the first rocks and bottles were clattering against the station-house walls; by the next day, the tinkle of broken glass was counterpointed by cries of "Beat drums, not heads!"

In two cunningly prepared ambushes, they killed 69 Americans in the Central Highlands. In a rocket onslaught on the huge air base at Danang, they killed eight men and did about $80 million worth of damage to U.S. planes. And, in a guerrilla-style raid that they have honed to near perfection, they swarmed over the provincial prison camp in Quang Nam province and released...
