Some in Washington believe that the Son Tay raid left the U.S. worse off than it was before. With Hanoi surely tightening the defenses of the P.O.W. camps, further rescue attempts will be vastly more difficult???but President Nixon has already hinted that he has just that in mind. At his Thanksgiving dinner for injured servicemen, speaking to Marine Sergeant George Lowry, the President likened the situation to a football game. "Sometimes you have to take them by surprise," he said. "You run a play and it fails. Then you turn around and call the same play again because they...

Victories over the North Vietnamese troops do not readily translate into visible progress in the guerrilla war. The bombing of North Viet Nam may slow the southward flow of arms and aid, but as yet has not notably diminished the vast acreage of land...
...down, accelerate on demand. Next week, Owner Vanderbilt and Trainer Winfrey plan to fly to Britain to case Ascot for themselves. One of the toughest problems: should Jockey Guerin, who has never ridden the kind of race required by English tracks, ride the Big Grey? It would all be difficult???and challenging...
