...frenzied, filthy, foul-mouthed mob of cretins. We watched these "innocents," as you called them, doing their "thing," i.e., overturning police motorcycles, setting fires on the sidewalks, rocking a van containing policemen in an attempt to overturn it, foisting signs in our faces reading "F- the draft," waving the Cong flag as they chanted "Ho-Ho-Ho Chi Minh." Spare me the bleeding heart's account of how they were brutalized. They were a danger to every one of us in Chicago and, unless stopped as they were here, constitute an even greater danger to our nation tomorrow...
...sacrificed to higher taxes? Will Daughter be raped or robbed by a black-nationalist hoodlum or move in with a beaded, bearded white hippie? Will Junior's college career-the dividend of long years of saving-end on a picket line organized by anarchists who wave Viet Cong flags and spit on the Stars and Stripes that Dad fought for in World War II? In fact, blacks are by far the most frequent victims of black criminals, and there is no real political answer to youthful excess.

In only one sector of the town were the Communists tem porarily successful, as they infiltrated almost two battalions into the southern fringes of Tay Ninh.

East of the town, the Viet Cong tenaciously clung to a stretch of strategic road that could be used as an approach to Saigon. The Viet Cong fought mechanized U.S. troops to a standstill for three days. So furious was the fighting that the Americans burned out barrel after barrel of their .50-caliber ma chine guns...
...first heavy fighting erupted along the Cambodian border to the west of Saigon, where the equivalent of a Viet Cong division moved on the provincial capital of Tay Ninh. Hints of a major buildup there had been drifting in for about a month. Confirmation came when a South Vietnamese armor specialist showed up at a Chieu Hoi center for defectors. He reported that the Communists had tried to recruit him to drive one of the armored personnel carriers that they expected to capture in an attack on the town...
