Calling Brisbane. Senate Leader Mansfield finally managed to summon back enough campaigning Senators (many of them aboard Air Force planes) on Saturday to assure a quorum. The bill flipped through by a 31-22 vote. By late afternoon, Mansfield and Acting House Majority Leader Hale Boggs had made their traditional adjournment calls to the President-in Brisbane, Australia, waking him from a sound sleep. Said the President to Boggs, "Congress has done an outstanding job." Replied Boggs: "Go back to sleep, Mr. President...
...discovery," which makes each side equally aware of the other's evidence before the trial begins. In criminal cases without such accommodation, many critics argue, the prosecutor has all the cards. Not only does he have the police on his side, but in most states the prosecutor can hale the defendant's probable witnesses before a secret grand jury, thus discover his case before the trial, and even pressure him into pleading guilty and skipping the trial altogether.

He is at his most inventive in his own composition, Brats, in which he draws a fascinating metallic sound from the piano by randomly attaching nuts and bolts to its strings...

(Civilian Irregular Defense Group), more than a regiment of Red troops positioned itself around a bloodied battalion of U.S. 101st Airborne troopers probing the district of Tuy Hoa as part of Operation Nathan Hale. Communist Company Commander 1st Lieut. Lu Due Thung, 35, was sent out after dusk to "find and fix the weak American force," as he later told his captors, then report back so that the Reds could launch a massive attack on the 101st the next night...
Within five hours the battle was over, Lieut. Thung was a cowed and loquacious prisoner, and the ground was littered with the bodies of North Vietnamese dead. That brought to nearly 400 the number of enemy destroyed in Nathan Hale's continuing sweep of the coastal highland area, which has long been the sanctuary of the Viet Cong but is now an increasingly perilous area for an estimated 2,500 North Vietnamese troops...
