...countries rubber-stamped a resolution condemning the latest U.S. actions as "a new and more dangerous step in the American policy of escalation" and pledging continued aid to North Viet Nam. While obviously suffering under the new American blows (see THE WORLD), Hanoi in its public statements displayed no hint of any less determination than Washington.

By this criterion we ought to turn Julius Caesar into Brutus, Cymbeline into Imogen, and The Merchant of Venice into Shylock...
...sides of the erstwhile Iron Curtain were talking again. Russia concluded an $800 million wheat deal with Canada, the largest such sale in history. West German Social Democrats and East Ger man Communists were preparing for open debates.
