...When the attack was launched, they had all decamped." Among the most important lessons learned and urgently taught to the Vietnamese: abandon the "blockhouse mentality," in which static troops defend only themselves; give up moving in large units and in big "sweeps." which accomplish nothing in the Vietnamese terrain; develop "quicker reaction time," i.e., hit back faster. The U.S. effort is aimed at helping the Vietnamese to do this themselves...
...squat, angular jet looks ugly as a beetle with quadruple goiters, but airmen on both sides of the Atlantic were studying its unusual shape last week with unusual interest.

Helena (Janet Leslie) make it clear how fine they can be as fighting...
...poverty, desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist. Such assistance, I am convinced, must not be on a piecemeal basis as various crises develop. Any assistance that this government may render in the future should provide a cure rather than a mere palliative...
