Following the September 27 party county conventions, liberals will probably control about forty per cent of the party apparatus--a significant gain over a year ago--and have an excellent possibility of winning a majority in 1970 under the progressive leadership of the Udall brothers--Cong.

The Communist supply lines and communications network have been improved enormously by feverish labor on the roads and trails through...

Ware, who made it a practice to be with his troops in combat, rushed to the battle in his helicopter. As it flew across the battle area, Ware's helicopter suddenly caught fire and crashed, most likely brought down...
