...hardest-hit province in the Delta is Chuong Thien, near the U Minh Forest, which was cleared of enemy forces by the 21st Division last year but is now a Communist stronghold once more. Four villages and 23 hamlets have been lost in Chuong Thien during the past month, though many were later retaken. The village of Hoa Thuan was held by the Communists for only a short time, but it was long enough for them to murder as many as 20 local officials. "We've lost roughly 25,000 people from such areas," says Colonel John Meese...
...hardest-hit section of Phnom-Penh was a teeming slum that houses war refugees and soldiers' families. During the barrage, 27 rockets pounded into the area, which is roughly the size of three football fields. At least 47 were killed and 56 injured, either in the blasts or in the fires that leveled every shack and lean-to in the area. By late morning, cabled TIME Correspondent Stanley Cloud, "nothing was left but a smoldering, stinking layer of ashes littered with the charred corpses of chickens, pigs and people.

...hardest-hit victims would be the 9,700 workers employed on the L-1011 project at Lockheed's Burbank and Palmdale plants. Many have already been hurt because work on the L-1011 has been cut back by 50% since the Rolls-Royce collapse; some would get jobs at the McDonnell Douglas plant in nearby Long Beach, where the DC-10 is being built. There would likely be more hiring by Boeing as well as McDonnell Douglas, and by their U.S. engine makers, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric. Thus, while a failure of the L-1011 would cause unemployment...
...Pauline Julien, a supporter of the Parti Quebecois and a nationally-famous singer who once refused to perform for Queen Elizabeth; Dr. Henri Bellemarre, director of a Montreal health clinic and a city council candidate of the Front d'Action Politique; to name only a few. Some of the hardest-hit youth groups have been the Vietnamese Patriots, an organization of students from South Vietnam who are sympathetic to the NLF; Cartier Latin, a student newspaper of the University of Quebec which published the FLQ manifesto before its reading on Montreal radio; and the American Draft Resistance Committee...
