...Viet Nam's President Nguyen Van Thieu arrived at the last minute to add his own farewells. "The fact that the South Vietnamese army can now start to replace U.S. troops constitutes both your success and our success," said Thieu in English. "I convey to you all the heartfelt gratitude of the free Vietnamese." Then, at last, the battalion wheeled to the left and marched across the runway to board the waiting airplanes. Said a Bravo Company platoon sergeant: "I don't think anybody is going to believe it until they get back. You ain't never...
...sprung from such conditions as black men faced in America. Why it took the particular form it did in 19th-century New Orleans--the jazz funeral--is impossible to answer precisely.

Scrawled in the book of condolences at the American embassy in Paris was a message from an unknown Frenchman: "To General Eisenhower, in deep homage also...
...York Times. Not necessarily-at least not for Margaret Fishback, a Manhattan ad copywriter and author of light verse (TIME, June 28). Contemplating her 7-lb., 16-section, 739-page edition of the Sunday Times, Miss Fishback finally sat down and dashed off a few heartfelt lines of protest to the editor, which the Times dutifully printed two Sundays later, right next to the 200-page magazine section's table of contents...
