...feel sorry for themselves, they should count the graves at Arlington, or the crosses on Iwo Jima, or the Chosin headstones, and then thank God that they have the privilege of an education and free choice of career. And instead of fearing the unknown, they should look forward to military service. Most ex-servicemen will tell you that some of their best times and most lasting friendships were in the armed forces...
From U.S. warships in the South China Sea to the forward combat zones of South Viet Nam's Central Highlands, the visiting Congressman or news correspondent is asked over and over again: "What's with the people back home?" It is a question that Lyndon Johnson would dearly like to answer, and clearly should. For if the war seems necessary and honorable to most U.S. fighting men in Viet Nam-and, by his say-so, to their Commander in Chief-it continues increasingly to baffle, depress or infuriate millions of voters in America...
...volley after volley of 105-mm. shells whispers overhead to crash down among the enemy in an endless, earthshaking, invisible whiplash of steel. Then the U.S. warplanes arrive, diving just ahead of the APCs to rend the forest with their 20-mm. cannon and 2.75 rockets.

...million, all of it from the Ford Foundation. Timothy Leary is arrested at the Mexican border when customs officials find five ounces (later three ounces; then possibly less than half an ounce) of marijuana in his car.

An expedition co-sponsored by the Peabody Museum discovers two 10,000-year-old Indian huts in Hell Gap, Wyo. They are the oldest known houses in the Western hemisphere...
...agility and grace. Marichal's overhand pitching motion is wonderful to behold: rocking back, kicking his left foot high above his head-higher than any other pitcher in memory-he seems almost, for an instant, to be suspended on strings. Then, in one bewildering blur, he sweeps forward to release the ball, often so violently that he staggers sideways off the mound. That lone flaw in Juan's motion-the awkwardness of his follow-through-is forever giving batters bright ideas. "Why not just bunt him to death?" Houston's young Centerfielder Jimmy Wynn asked an Astro...
