...hide behind the declaration that we want the South Vietnamese to enjoy the blessings of the democratic way of life. We can hope that this will be one of the most beneficial side effects of our military victory there, but the truth is that Southeast Asia is still strategically a vital region in our national defense structure and must be defended. To that selfish but important end, I earnestly suggest that the nation get on with the job of supporting Westmoreland, whose interpretation of his assignment richly deserves a return salute from the nation whose interests he so nobly defends...
Outnumbered 7 to 1 by Hindus, India's 60 million Moslems live largely outside the country's mainstream.

The effectiveness of the April 12 March in New York, in Vaughn's view, was riddled by tactical errors--a slate of controversial speakers, the wild forays of urban guerrillas and a contingent of exhibitionist hippies Being...
...enduring fascinations of the postseason playoffs is the way the pros- except for football- enjoy making monkeys of the experts when big money is at stake. Take hockey. At the end of the 70-game season, the league leaders are rewarded with $2,250 per man. Then the first four teams meet in the Stanley Cup playoffs for $5,250 per man-and all bets are off. Last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs walloped the Montreal Canadiens for their fourth Stanley Cup in six years. Only once in that time have they finished No. 1 in regular season play...
