...Viet Cong were clearly willing to fight when they were engaged, whether in the delta or farther north. Up in Quang Tin province, near Danang, a helilift of South Vietnamese paras, hoping to provoke a big battle, made contact with the Communists in a slough of serried hills, scuffled briefly but bloodily, then withdrew to regroup. The Viet Cong did not press their advantage, so the government troops waded in again. By week's end more than 300 Reds had been killed. Government losses were 34 dead-plus two U.S. Marine Corps advisers killed by ground fire...
...Pauw claimed that his movement had the "express backing" of more than 50,000 Catholics, plus the secret support of 30 bishops and "one of the highest ranking officials" in close contact with Rome-by which he seemed to mean Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apostolic Delegate to the U.S. Church officials scoff at De Pauw's claim that his movement represents the view of 70% of the nation's Catholics.

But the program is not designed with the idea of enticing students to go into politics, since any such plan would be merely a drop in the bucket. Contact with residents and visitors would strengthen the political aspirations of those who aspire already. But Neustadt might wonder whether any of the programs he now has in mind would have induced John F. Kenedy '40, varsity swimmer and club man, to come over to the Institute...
