...them at the polls. But, from the U.S. viewpoint, there are grave dangers in such a course. The Communists are far and away the best-organized, most cohesive political force in South Viet Nam, and in a free election could probably attract more votes than the population they currently control-perhaps getting as much as 35% of the vote in an early election. That might very well prove to be a plurality and, as the Saigon constitution is now written, would give them the country overnight-an outcome that would be hard for the U.S. to accept.

...village arrangements honestly arrived at. Indeed, as agreements were reached, all foreigners might well be asked to leave the areas involved. Thus a system based on this new oil-spot theory might work to gradually lower the level of violence. It would have the liability of confirming Viet Cong control in areas they already own. By the same token, the government would have its rule in clearly held areas validated. And as Samuel P.

Last week Pope Paul VI formally promulgated his encyclical on birth control, which condemns all methods of contraception, except rhythm, as against the will of God. The pronouncement caused perhaps the most serious outburst of dissent the Catholic Church has experienced in centuries. Innumerable Catholics made clear that they would refuse to heed the words of a reigning Pontiff. Theologians defied his authority to insist that the encyclical was not binding on married Catholics who have good reasons to practice birth...
