July 11: Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford reports North Vietnamese have "up to eight divisions, possibly more," concentrated near the DMZ. Central Committee presidium of the National Liberation Front, political arm of the Viet Cong, meets somewhere in South Viet...
...feel that the best practice for a match is playing one," says wing forward Hal Clark. The three weekly practice sessions are, in effect, scrimmage rugby matches in which members of the "C" team often find themselves playing besides members of the "A" team...
