...Viet Cong were ready for an all-out campaign to subvert the countryside. Diem responded with repressive measures that only fueled the Viet Cong's enlistment program. When Diem was finally overthrown by his own generals (without U.S. protest) in 1963, the Viet Cong took a dip in strength. But during the revolving-door sequence of governments that followed Diem, the peasants lost faith in Saigon's ability to rule. The Viet Cong picked up strength again. They began to roam at will through the countryside, backed up by North Vietnamese regular soldiers who had come down...
...June, meaning more overtime and part-time employment. Government economists predict that with the upward swing of the economy-and with the return to school of students who filled jobs during the summer-the currently unemployed will be offered an expanding work market. ∙CORPORATE PROFITS.

At $79.2 billion-compared with $79 billion in the first quarter-profits before taxes were still far below the record $84 billion achieved during the third quarter of last year.

So vast are distances in official Washington that the 7-ft. dip will appear, if at all, as the merest line across the grass...
...other Arab nations were in any position to help Nasser-or themselves. As a result of the Middle East oil embargo (see WORLD BUSINESS), Iraq's gold reserves are expected to dip perilously low. In Syria, which lost the vital revenues from two oil pipelines, the capital city of Damascus began rationing food last week. Lebanon's $85 million-a-year tourist industry, meantime, has all but dried up. Hardest hit is Jordan: it lost not only the tourist-rich Old City of Jerusalem but, at least for the time being, the agricultural lands on the west bank...
