...first hint of brutality and murder at the farms. Shortly after Governor Winthrop Rockefeller took office in 1967, he released a 67-page state-police prison report, ordered and then suppressed by former Governor Orval Faubus, that painted a picture of hell in Arkansas. To maintain discipline, prisoners were beaten with leather straps, blackjacks, hoses. Needles were shoved under their fingernails, and cigarettes were applied to their bodies. For the truly unregenerate, there was the "Tucker telephone," a form of electric-shock torture used by James Bruton, former superintendent of the Tucker prison farm. A prisoner was strapped...
...even with these, the projected budget deficit for fiscal 1969 could be about $18 billion instead of the $8 billion targeted by the White House. After indicating these possible concessions, Mills announced that his committee would turn to other business when it reconvenes next week. He gave no hint whether or when the tax surcharge would be reconsidered.

...American official has ever said this explicitly, but the mere hint of compromise with the V.C. or Hanoi has provoked several outbursts of indignation from President Thieu. During the past few weeks, he has assured his subjects--and us--that he will never permit the Vietcong to join a coalition government in Saigon. Nor will he ever talk to the Vietcong. A halt of the bombing is out of the question. In other words, the Saigon government thinks that all the feasible means to end the war are nonsensical. Sadly, each of Thieu's brash remarks inevitably draws the American...
