...quantities is to mix them in water, soak the solution up in a handkerchief and let it dry-to be cut up later into squares, which LSD users chew. LSD is hard to track down because the compound is colorless, tasteless and odorless, and so potent that a gram, equal to one million micrograms, or 10,000 trips, could be stashed in a single cigarette.

Last week U.S. officials disclosed that 16,000 Red troops had been killed in the first four months of 1966, nearly equal to the 19,000 that were infiltrated down the Ho Chi Minh trail from North Viet Nam in the same period. Down the trail must also come nearly all the ammunition to supply the Czech and Chinese weapons of the 30,000 North Vietnamese regulars now in the South.

...militant Monk Thich Tri Quang in Hue. While the flames were still flickering over the nun's charred body, Tri Quang summoned the press to make clear his grievance: Premier Ky's successful suppression of the Buddhist-inspired rebellion in nearby Danang, a "crime" against Buddhists equal to the "crime of Hiroshima." Moreover, he said, it had been "masterminded by the United States President...
