Harris angrily demurred. He argued that his property was being destroyed without due process. Such a move, he said, went beyond the statutory authority of those ordering the reprints, and the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., agreed. It issued an order forbidding more misprints. And it told Zone officials that they must never distribute the three other misprinted sheets that were still in their possession. Now it was the Zonemen's turn to claim that they were being pushed around. If they could not do what they wanted with their own misprints, they said, they would appeal...
...remarried and gone mad. Claudia's brother, played with a nice sense of wasting vitality by Jean Sorel, is less interested in vengeance than in incest, about which he has written an autobiographical novel. Since the family closets are already bursting with scandalous secrets, Claudia begs him to destroy the book. The pair's unseemly sibling passion ultimately leads to disgrace, violence and suicide...
Further, we have yet to demonstrate that search-and-destroy tactics can defeat the Viet Cong in any significant way. Secretary McNamara has said confidently that "we are no longer losing the war." But neither are we winning. All of our successful operations have been confined to the central plains area, 300 miles northeast of Saigon, a region settled largely by Catholic refugees from the North and hardly a Viet Cong stronghold; or in areas like Chu Lai where American seapower provides tactical support unavailable inland. Even where we have "destroyed" the enemy, guerillas have repeatedly re-infiltrated after...

According to Gavin's plan, the United States would fortify its coastal enclaves and continue to defend the cities. The strategy would perhaps require as many as 500,000 troops. It would not spell retreat or withdrawal; in place of search-and-destroy, it would emphasize securing territory which is already occupied by allied forces. The U.S., rather than extending its commitment to land which is militarily unattainable, would concentrate its commitment--rationalize and define it -- to include only those areas in which it enjoys over-whelming tactical superiority. By blocking any further Communist advance, the plan would stabilize...
