...last time McNamara was in Viet Nam, the U.S. had 180,000 men in the country and was just beginning to untangle the logistical lash-ups caused by the unprecedentedly swift buildup. This week he will find a force of 320,000 men who, in the eleven months that have intervened since his seventh visit, have kept the Reds from winning a single major battle, have 'discouraged them from mounting any attack in battalion strength or greater since March, and are finding that the badly hurt guerrillas are ever more willing to surrender. Seldom, if ever, have the Communist...
...Absolute Freedom." Neither Thomson nor Astor will completely control the eleven-man board, which will hire and fire editors. It will consist of the editor in chief, the general manager, two Astor men, three Thomson men, and-at the fulcrum-four "independent national figures" to be approved by both partners. Though Thomson will not be on the board, his son, Kenneth, 43, will be vice chairman.

He appealed to San Francisco's U.S. District Judge George B. Harris, who thereupon indignantly issued his circuit's first federal injunction against state prison officials. Impressed with Jordan's "clear and convincing" testimony, which vividly described cells caked with human excrement, Judge Harris saw a patent violation of the Eighth Amendment's guarantee against "cruel and unusual punishment." He ordered California...
Masculine Feminine. Here's that man again. Jean-Luc Godard is his name, and for the past seven years he has been spewing out a veritable Seine of cinema. Though mercifully divided into 80-minute stretches and released as eleven separate features (among them Breathless, My Life To Live, Alphaville) Godard's work is intended as a single film. It is his Comedie Humaine, an intricate, enormous, tricky-trashy yet heart-stabbingly poetic attempt to cinemulate Balzac's masterpiece...
