...contrast, the U.S. played a key role in establishing South Viet Nam as a separate entity in 1954. Since then, U.S. Presidents have consistently pledged support to Saigon governments. The Communist insurgency in South Viet Nam also began as a civil war and to some extent it still remains one-in the sense that both North and South Vietnamese are part of what used to be one country. But U.S. officials and significant numbers of South Vietnamese have long seen the North as an outside force trying to impose its will on the South (an issue that has nothing...

But the Democrats and many economists believe that his plan would create a ripple effect that would go on for years, adding more than 2%. In contrast, Harvard Economist Otto Eckstein, a member of TIME'S Board of Economists, estimates that the Ullman plan would add only .6% to prices by the end of 1976 and 2.1% by 1980. Still, for all of their differences on energy, there is enough common ground to allow Ford...
