...their own country, would still be backed up by American support troops, and may be psychologically braced by the feeling that they must finally stand on their own feet. The argument is far from convincing, but the U.S. has no choice at the moment but to give Vietnamization a fair...
...broad Plain of Jars, so called because of the many funereal jars on the area's tombs. Preceding the offensive was an intensive rain of bombs from Thai-based U.S. planes, which have turned the whole region into a "free-fire zone," where anything that moves is considered fair game.

Through various covert devices of favoritism in the hiring halls, many local officials prevent Negroes and other outsiders from getting a fair share of work. Unions should be compelled to give up exclusive control over apprenticeship programs and standards, although it may be arguable whether industry or Government should take over. It is hardly an accident that in most industries where companies control hiring, training and promotion, the Negro gets...
