...university administrators began to realize toward week's end that they had miscalculated. Their hard-line decision to forcibly evict the street people from the park, which led to the military occupation, had backfired. In effect, they had relinquished their freedom of action to the police and troopers. Chancellor Heyns, who earlier had refused to compromise university control of the tract, now indicated that he might negotiate. The university issued conciliatory statements, and Heyns asked for removal of non-university police from the campus. A substantial number of police left the university grounds, and arrests in that area dropped...
...North's own manpower and other resources. The third, and so far least influential group, whose spokesman is Foreign Minister Nguyen Duy Trinh, supposedly favors seeking victory at the conference table and employing only limited guerrilla forces in the South.

In Ver-sur-Mer, at one end of the beach promenade, tourists stroll past a blockhouse that now serves as a signal station for fishing boats. A few blockhouses elsewhere have been converted into homes, chicken coops and storage sheds. All along the coast, demolition teams still roam the countryside searching for unexploded ammunition; every so often, when a big enough haul is accumulated, it is blown up on Omaha after the tide has come in. At Arromanches-les-Bains, snuggled between yellowish cliffs...
...suggested that France could not afford De Gaulle's vaunted force de frappe. He also pledged a "profound change" in foreign policy, and to work for a united Europe for the "future of our youth." In domestic affairs, Poher offered "draconian economic measures" to defend the franc, an end to government influence over the state television network, whose propaganda broadcasts had "chloroformed the country," and abolition of the Ministry of Information...
