...sight, but your 100,000 soulmates on this 30-by-7-mile rock in the Pacific have arms, legs and nerves as tender as yours. And out of mind we'll not be for long if any attempt is made to store the nerve gas on Guam. A howl of protest would be heard from Agana to Washington D.C. And is this how America treats her country cousins who suffered torture and death at the hands of the Japanese in World War II, and who are dying in the jungles of Viet Nam today to preserve the American...
...seizure of U.S. properties. After an unfortunate initial delay, the U.S. won warm thanks from the Peruvian generals for its effective aid. From the U.S.'s Southern Command in Panama came a 40-man rescue team three days after the quake, and giant Chinook helicopters from the carrier Guam lifted supplies into remote Andean villages that otherwise were completely cut off from the outside world by landslides.

...massive outpouring for the first Moratorium Day last October. Still, the renewed attacks at home on his handling of the war in Asia will be yet another factor for Richard Nixon to consider as he compounds a prescription for U.S. tactics in Indochina. In declaring the Nixon Doctrine, on Guam, he pledged that the U.S. would honor existing guarantees to Asian countries, but made it clear that the nation had no heart for another Viet Nam. The Administration is also committed to press on with Vietnamization of the present conflict. Now Nixon confronts the first real test of both that...
