...North Viet Nam's war material moves, they have cut off rail and road links between the port and the rest of the country. The buffer zone and Hanoi itself have been hit sporadically, with pilots striking only at specific military targets and taking special care to avoid civilian casualties. Understandably, neither aviator favors a bombing pause. Said McConnell: "If you ever release the pressure, they will be just that much better off." The bluntest remark on the subject came last week from Air Force Colonel Robin Olds, 45, the World War II ace who downed four MIGs...

Still, a civilian specialist notes that the "setpiece assault" is causing the North "a tremendous effort, tying up a tremendous amount of manpower and transport at terrible cost."

The Smiths took pains to insulate their only child from the abrasions of ghetto life...
...Queen Maria Kazimiera as her husband, King John Sobieski, rode into battle against the Turks (he won). In August 1944, during the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, the entire church and its adjacent convent were leveled by bombs and artillery shells, burying 35 nuns, four priests, and 4,000 civilian rebels under the wreckage. Today, newly roofed with copper that sparkles in the sun's autumn rays, the church is at last receiving its final coat of paint...
