...with the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet Cong, it certainly comes close. The "Save the Country Manifesto" it issued after the Mimot meeting significantly overlaps with the N.L.F.'s long-announced 14 points in demanding the withdrawal of U.S. troops and bases and the creation of an independent, neutral South Viet Nam. Still, nine of its ten leaders have never been identified as Communists or as having had close association with the Viet Cong-although all have neutralist or leftist backgrounds. Chairman Trinh Dinh Thao, 66, a Saigon lawyer and onetime partner of Nguyen...
...Vietnamese intelligence seems to share the U.S. State Department's assessment that the Alliance is "a creation of the N.L.F. and Hanoi." The Viet Cong, intelligence insists, have been thinking in terms of another front -aimed in particular at the cities-for some time. A document captured last year noted that "the more allies we find, even if they are temporary and precarious, the better."

Total Freeze. The French move was meant to minimize the jolt of this week's EEC action. Since its creation under the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the Common Market has gradually eliminated 85% of all internal tariffs. Now the last 15% will disappear. At the same time, the EEC will adopt common external tariffs, which will be automatically reduced by 40% in accordance with the Kennedy Round agreements. Also taking effect will be an agricultural common market with subsidized, uniform prices within the EEC and joint levies on imports from outside...
Last summer 1) widespread media coverage of the use of marijuana by youth in general, 2) the holding of several be-ins in the spring, 3) the emergence of a psychedelic newspaper called Avatar, 4) the appearance of a head shop on Mass. Ave. called "Headquarters East," 5) the creation of a Diggers' free food house on Columbia St. in Cambridge, 6) the opening of a draft resistance headquarters, and 7) the movement of long-haired, funny-dressed people out of such underground (lit.) handouts as the Blue Parrot Cafe into the streets--all these things combined with...
