...will survive this attack by you. I doubt that 100,000 of this nation's blind will turn on the companion who gives them guidance. Neither will the U.S. Army stop buying the shepherd to protect our soldiers in Viet Nam from the surprise onslaughts of the Viet Cong. Neither will I forget that a shepherd saved the life of my eldest son. Should I tell my little girl, aged 8, that she can't take our shepherd for a walk after school?

The Viet Cong also hoped to catch the 1st unprepared, since the U.S. infantrymen...
Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley has bitterly declared that he will brook no trouble from would-be demonstrators when the Democratic Convention gets underway in August. "I think the great mass of American people has had enough of those who carry Viet Cong flags in the streets of this country, and are getting fed up with the cry of police brutality," he told his wildly applauding City Council...
