Most of the Communist dead have been replaced with new recruits, many of them raw and untrained, who are now being given crash courses in tactics and fire discipline in jungle bivouacs. To remedy their communications problems in the Saigon area, the Communists have redivided the capital's command zones, creating a forward command center near the city and five subcommand posts, all linked by radio network. They have also been busy improving their transportation network, building and surfacing roads in a dozen places, including one within 30 miles of Saigon. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong have been...
...adjustable wings retracted into attack position, a camouflage-mottled F-111, nee the TFX, last week was highballing across Thailand at treetop level on its way to a bombing mission in North Viet Nam's panhandle. Suddenly, something went wrong, and the U.S.'s most advanced warplane crashed somewhere in the dense jungle of Thailand or western Laos. It was the third F-111 crash since a squadron of six of the $6,000,000 swing-wings made their combat debut in Viet Nam less than a month...
...crash raised a new storm of scan dal over what is already the most controversial warplane ever built. After the first two crashes, both of which occurred in the first week of combat, the Air Force grounded the F-111. Though it failed to find the first plane, the Air Force did recover the wreckage of the second. After sifting through the twisted parts, its investigators declared that the cause of the crash was a $1 tube of sealant that had been left behind, apparently by a careless mechanic. Somehow, it had worked its way into the automatic flight mechanism...
...sweep and immediacy, the shock wave of looting, arson and outrage that swept the nation's black ghettos after Martin Luther King's murder exceeded anything in the American experience. By week's end, 168 towns and cities had echoed to the crash of brick through window glass, the crackle of the incendiary's witch's torch, the scream of sirens and the anvil chorus of looters. Yet one sound was remarkable in its very diminuendo. The fierce fusillades of gunfire that exacerbated the disorders of years past were heard only rarely last week...
BUDDY HOLLY was perhaps the first canonized auteur, after his tragic death in 1959. The number of Holly admirers has grown so steadily that Coral Records has managed to "discover" six albums-worth of material since the plane crash. Holly's style was the vehicle for the rise of Bobby Vee and Tommy Roe among others, and the early wave of the British sound in 1964, including a Beatles period, can be traced back to the shy Texan. The rolling beat of Peggy Sue and Tell Me How lived, as little else of the '50's did, well into...
