Last week's furor kept Kashmir in the headlines, which is just where the Pakistanis want it. Their worst fear is that the crisis will fade before the U.N. does something about it. Meanwhile, dug-in Pakistani and Indian troops face each other along the 1,500-mile truce line from Rajasthan in the south to Kashmir in the north. India has charged Pakistan with 585 violations in 34 days. Pakistan has countered with accusations of 450 incidents by India. In his first visit to the front, India's Shastri last week exhorted his soldiers "to be alert...
...suppose that the U.S. actually succeeded in "pacifying" South Vietnam. What then? The remaining Viet Cong could fade back among the people and wait for opportunities to strike. It would be impossible to seal hermetically the borders from further guerrilla infiltration. Hanson Baldwin has estimated that a perpetual police force of as many as 250,000 soldiers would be required to keep the country "in order." The economy would be in shambles from years of devastation; thousands would be without food.

Or they might simply fade away to lie low, Br'er Rabbit fashion, in the hope that sooner or later the U.S. would get weary of waiting and go back home...
...advanced 10.9%, a rate second only to Israel's 11% and 4.3% more than that of the U.S. (although lower by 1.1% than Japan's average rate for the previous five years). The mood of pessimism that set in more than a year ago has begun to fade, and there is already some talk of a full "recovery" by early next spring. One visible sign of the changing mood: the Tokyo stock market, after slumping badly during the spring and summer, has been rising steadily, staged a strong rally last month and regained all the ground that...
