Tweet, Tweet. Unless the Communists sharply intensify the war, the U.S. strategy in coming months will be to press the fight at the borders and to find and destroy the main-force units inland. The tough First Air Cavalry and the 101st Division will become Westmoreland's mobile reserves, ready to meet major Communist moves anywhere in the country. The optimistic hope is that as inland areas become cleared and the remaining main-force units are pushed to the frontiers, the South Vietnamese will be capable of taking over and holding the territory against local guerrillas.

Justice, undone, now feels it must let the courts decide the legality of Hershey's decision...
Reversing the Tide. While color alone has never been a strong enough tie to unify a continent whose people have plenty of other differences to fight over, economic interest could reverse the tide of apartness. The new Community now offers a common market of 28 million persons that is largely free of tariffs. If the Community embraces the other nine nations, it would have a market of 100 million people...
