...blurred a few facts. Far from being harassed by hordes of U.S. newswomen, the Princess was regularly accompanied by a pool of only six reporters, two of them British. True, the U.S. pool members included U.P.I.'s Helen Thomas and A.P.'s Frances Lewine, among the fiercest rivals in the entire Washington press corps. But both, by their normal standards, were considerably subdued in the royal presence. Miss Thomas asked Anne only one question: how she liked the view at the Washington Monument. When the Princess frostily replied, "I do not give interviews," Miss Thomas uncharacteristically gave...
Learn and Listen. That no blood was shed was remarkable, since a pall of anger hung over Ulster last week following the fiercest battles between Catholics and Protestants in eight months. In addition to the seven dead, at least 250 people were wounded or injured, stores and pubs were fire-bombed and buses overturned to make barricades. Arriving in Belfast for a "learn-and-listen" visit, British Home Secretary Reginald Maudling heard enough to convince him that the new Tory government had inherited a cankerous problem.

Most people still talk about making a stand against Communism, though they are increasingly unsure whether Viet Nam represents the right place or the right method Here, as elsewhere, even the fiercest hawks tend to say that getting into the war was a mistake in the first place. It is not so much that El Dorado's people support the war as that they are angered by radical attacks on the country, the President, the armed forces. The President, they argue, must know what...
Magic Kerchief TIME Correspondent Robert Anson was the first newsman to enter Siem Reap after the Communist attack was blunted. Some of the fiercest fighting of the two-day battle, he reported, involved a Viet Cong attack on the high school, where more than 200 recently inducted 16-and 17-year-old boys and girls were garrisoned. A Cambodian officer who remained in radio contact with the group throughout a night filled with thundering mortar fire and the clatter of machine guns, said the terrified students cried into the radio "like a baby crying at night for its mother...
