...North Vietnamese regulars in a spoiling operation designed to throw off balance any enemy monsoon offensive plans. All up and down South Viet Nam, the U.S. has been out hunting in a record number of battalion-size or larger operations (25 last week). Significantly they are making contact, after nearly eight months in which North Vietnamese General Giap's forces and the Viet Cong were notably reluctant to fight. Yet another sign of the quickening war: Giap has moved two fresh regiments from staging areas in Laos into the Central Highlands, the 34th and 88th, totaling some...
...commandant of Los Angeles' Black-Foxe Military Institute wanted to remind his cadets to study during Christmas vacation, and he knew just how to contact them: he took an ad in Hot Rod magazine. More than 80% of the student body read the message. Whether they turned back to their schoolbooks is another question.

Where contact has been made on an individual basis, the hostility has often been put aside. Thus, PBH has been able to make long lists of friends. But where Harvard has emerged as an "Institution," the hostility--or at least much of it--remains. Watching a protest march down Massachusetts Ave. this spring most Cambridge spectators could murmur nothing but disgust. They identified the marchers with Harvard, and clearly they didn...
...political boss" in Cambridge, and the City's politics resembles a sputtering engine more than a smooth-operating machine. Each politician creates his own core of supporters, and each takes care of his own obligations. As a result, Cambridge politics is personalized politics, which exists on man-to-man contact and the trading of favors...
