...dead has been running more than 3 to 1 in favor of the allies, a clear reflection of the fact that it is now the U.S. and Saigon that have the initiative and the guerrillas the defensive. Moreover, the U.S. is constantly adding to its variety of offensive capabilities: fortnight ago, 15 miles south of Qui Nhon, a U.S. Marine raiding force in battalion strength stormed ashore from assault boats of the Seventh Fleet's amphibious task force, swept three coastal areas in Operation Dagger Thrust. Though the marines nabbed few V.C. this time, Dagger Thrust is a valuable...

But Menderes' popularity, it seems, has only ripened with time.

The center delegates thought they had such a case in De Gaulle's harshly anti-NATO, anti-Common Market press-conference pronouncements a fortnight ago. But Pinay last week professed to be still unconvinced. If things were all that bad, he asked, why were not Deputies resigning, workers marching in the street? He would run only if assured at least a third of the votes. The delegation withdrew, promised to report back in two weeks...
