Much to coach Harry Parker's dismay Harvard is considered the favorite in Saturday's important Adams Cup crew race against Navy and Penn on the Middies' Severn River course...
...attack on the Tha Vieng area in the Plain of Jars. U.S. embassy sources in Saigon, however, dismissed the attack as a minor action-"perhaps a squabble over rice." After two days the raids halted, which suggested that the B-52s were used more to dramatize U.S. dismay over the deteriorating situation in Indochina and less for specifically tactical purposes...
