Some officers in Westmoreland's command have put out figures indicating that the enemy's total strength has risen from 280,000 to 296,000 in the past six months. But these totals include administrative cadres, line-of-supply forces and part-time guerrillas, and there is endless room for argument about definitions as well as the count. Saigon headquarters sometimes uses the highest possible figures on enemy strength in support of arguments for more U.S. troops, then is naively surprised when the U.S. public figures the war can't be going very well if the enemy...
...York papers called it a real nice clambake, but it was more than that: a beautiful mornin', an enchanted evening and an endless stream of happy talk on the 65th birthday of Broadway Composer Richard Rodgers. NBC's Today show gave over its full two hours in the morning to a review of his life and work, and that night Mayor John Lindsay pinned the city's Handel Medallion on him during a reception at Gracie Mansion.

The reader sticks with them both, if only to drink the whiskies, hear the conversation, and see the sky and the coast as they shimmer from the yacht...
...eschew the two extremes of immediate withdrawal and intensified fighting, Galbraith has created a plan that will please few. The one point on which hawks and doves can agree is that the fighting should be ended as rapidly as possible. Neither group would complacently tolerate an extended, seemingly endless, defensive war. Much of Galbraith's proposal--his appeal for an end to the bombing and for a disassociation from General Ky and his coterie--is obviously laudable, but, because it does not hold out the possibility of an imminent termination of the war, it is unlikely to elicit any significant...
