...most spectacular U.S. engineering project of the war is Cam Ranh Bay, a 15-mile-long, five-mile-wide deep-water harbor 190 miles north of Saigon. Seven months ago it was a pristine, sun-blanched wasteland; today it is a frenetic modern port that rivals Charleston's in size. There, last week, building supplies, ammunition and barrels of fuel were stacked endlessly on the beaches near rows of new ware houses and barracks. On a flattened hilltop, antiaircraft Hawk missiles stood at the ready. Nearby, giant C-130 cargo planes and F-4 Phantom jet fighters returning from...
...Look at It Now." Last week alone, the 10,000 men of the 18th Engineer Brigade were building a 10,000-ft. jet-fighter strip at Phan Rang, a floating dock that will double the capacity of the Qui Nhon harbor, a communications facility and a 60-bed hospital for the 1st Air Cavalry at An Khe, a 250,000-sq.-yd. ammunition dump at Long Binh, and fortifications and housing at Cu Chi for newly arrived troops of the 25th Division.

Developed haphazardly, with a strong flavor of claptrap and ticky-tacky, the magnificent sweep of beaches has seen the tide of tourism rise, then ebb. Now it is rising again, to fill the well-appointed hotels for the average tourist -El Presidente, Acapulco Hilton...
Among its tourist attractions, Baltimore boasts of succulent crab cakes, miles and miles of red-brick row houses, and the fourth busiest harbor in the nation. It quickly glides over its most famous tourist lure, the seamy, sinful strip known as "the Block," a symbol and byproduct of a police department that ranks with the worst in any major U.S. city...
