...Harvard affirmative debate team captured the national collegiate debating title yesterday by defeating Augustana University's negative team by a 3-2 decision. Charles Gavin '74 and Greg Rosenbaum '74 took the honors in the final round of debate at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs...
This clanging rhetoric drowns out certain facts. As has been universally reported, both the Communists and the Thieu forces have regularly violated the ceasefire.

Although more than half the scholarly contributors are American or English, the authors come...

A deadly war of attrition continues in the soggy green Mekong Delta, where the rice is ready for harvest. TIME Correspondent Gavin Scott visited both combat zones last week and filed this report...
