...days on end, TIME'S office was manned round the clock. As Paris shut down and communications came to a halt, press packets had to be driven to Brussels, four hours away, for relay to New York. But when gasoline reserves dwindled, even that link with the outside world became tenuous. Office supplies began to run short, and just getting to work became something of an adventure. The red-rimmed eyes of the reporters filing for this week's cover story suggested sleepless nights, long hours spent crisscrossing a barricaded city, and the irritating effects of tear...
Police did not interfere when students by the thousands occupied France's 23 universities, forcing classes to halt. Youthful orators railed against the established order at interminable meetings, but failed to agree on what should replace it.

Vietnamese sources in Paris believe that there will be quick agreement on a U.S. bombing halt and a reciprocal gesture by the North. After that, they expect the U.S. to offer a $1 billion rebuilding program to the North while Hanoi agrees in turn to quit using the Demilitarized Zone as a staging area and to halt infiltration. Then will come the thorniest issue...
