Winding up his primary campaign, Nixon plans to crisscross the state for giant rallies and late-hour major speeches. He has scheduled a "Win with Nixon" telethon (9 p.m. to 1 a.m.) in which he will answer questions called in by telephoning viewers. Most of all, his strategy depends on ignoring Shell-thereby not making the hard-Shell right any madder-and concentrating his fire on the shilly-shally administration of Pat Brown...
...ancient Crathis. After only ten days of work, they located 800 yds. of a city wall buried under many feet of soil, and test pits turned up pottery fragments from the 6th century B.C., when Sybaris was at its glittering peak. British, U.S. and Italian archaeologists will continue to crisscross the area with detailed magnetometer surveys to guide large-scale excavations. By the end of summer, they hope to know whether they have really found the long-buried ruins of sybaritic Sybaris...

He may see a distant city, a clump of ruins. a suggestion of a bridge, a wispy shoreline, or just a shredded bit of grill. But whatever he sees may not be there for long. When...
...three days Cao feinted and jabbed, using U.S. Navy landing craft on the canals that crisscross the plain. Viet Cong Battalion 514 was backed into a corner 20 miles square. Then Cao struck. Mortar and howitzer shells pounded the square while sturdy AD6 Skyraiders swooped down, strafing and dropping napalm bombs. Some 100 soldiers of the 450-man battalion were killed, many more wounded. Colonel Cao's men captured 22 prisoners, including two nurses and two 15-year-old boys who claimed that their job was to sing and dance to entertain the guerrillas...
