...pristine Cam Ranh Bay, where czarist Russia's fleet took shelter just before its crushing defeat by the Japanese navy in 1905, combat engineers turned the natural harbor into a major port. Twenty miles down the coast, the "Screaming Eagles" of the 101st Airborne Brigade began operating as a mobile strike force. In the guerrilla-infested jungles around Saigon prowled the 1st Infantry Division ("Big Red One"), the 173rd Airborne, a 1,200-man battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment, a 250-man New Zealand artillery unit...
...least so thinks Tom Wesselmann, 34, who fiddles with the girl who doesn't exist, the supersex symbol, the Great American Nude, and sets her in homey seraglio scenes decorated with real radiators. Lift the Venetian blind, and there is a calendar painting of a Japanese harbor. Or, as in one recent Nude, the whole scene is stamped out of multicolored translucent plastic and glows from within by electric lights...
Cultural Bonanza. Sitting in Sydney's harbor, Utzon's incomplete colossus is composed of three structures with cantile vered rooftops. Since they are seen from passing ships, Utzon conceived of the roofs as "the fifth fa?ade." Into them, he has poured all his inventiveness. The roof lines billow like the spinnakers of a squadron of racing yachts...
Pentagon analysts, who color the inviolate area red on their war maps, have pinpointed some 30 prime targets within the envelope, an enclave anchored by the Red River town of Yen Bai in the northwest, crucial harbor ports of Haiphong and Cam Pha in the northeast and Thanh Hoa at the southern apex. Around Hanoi are a thermal power plant, an engineering facility, key bridges and the Phuc Yen airfield, where Chinese-supplied MIG-17s are based. In addition to its vast port, Haiphong's potential targets include two power plants, two cement factories, two airfields and three storage...
...Fides. Thus far the U.S. has exempted the area because attacks might, in Pentagonese, prove "counterproductive." No matter how scrupulously residential areas are avoided, bombing Hanoi (pop. 650,000) and Haiphong (375,000) would certainly cause civilian casualties-and a U.S. propaganda setback. Blasting the docks or mining the harbor at Haiphong would provoke furious protests from America's allies, who have hauled some 100 shiploads of cargo there so far this year. Air raids might also stiffen rather than weaken morale on the ground, as happened in both Britain and Germany during World War II. Nor would...
