...Baker also dropped his first decision, finishing third to Cadet Bob MacDonald's 4:08.7 mile. But Baker won a thrilling two-mile, coming from third place at the 1 1/2 mark to go by Army's Jim Warner and the tiring Dong Hardin. Baker pranced home...
...which all supplies coming by rail from Red China funnel into Hanoi, U.S. pilots went to work last week chewing up the spider web of rail yards and lines north of the bridge. Time and again they hit other key targets on Hanoi's outskirts, including the Ha Dong army barracks, which had previously been immune from attack. U.S. planes knocked five MIG's out of the sky and smashed at least eight more at their bases in persistent attacks that in two weeks have accounted for the destruction of nearly one-sixth of the North...
Typical is the pair of two-room buildings in Tan Thanh Dong, a tiny cluster of huts in the Mekong Delta, where the teachers' voices must compete with the rumble of armored convoys on the road outside. Communist slogans, painted on the classroom walls by Viet Cong by night and whitewashed away by day, are faintly visible. Bullet holes stand out more starkly.

Last week, to clear the Communists out of the area to Saigon's north, American forces launched the largest offensive of the war to date, sending 28 battalions and 34 batteries of artillery into the 25-sq.-mi. wedge known as the Iron Triangle, a notorious Communist strong hold...
