...school; 20%, we burn our draft cards; 10%, we leave the country." When the results came in, it was on to Wisconsin, where last week a hard-core cadre of 300 New Hampshire veterans, many of them AWOL from classes, deplaned to begin organizing up to 25,000 fresh Midwestern volunteers pouring in from Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa-not to mention a goodly number of the Badger State's 70,000-odd resident students.

With the allies drawn into defensive positions around I Corps cities and military enclaves, the NVA are now moving openly across the DMZ and down the broad coastal plain.
