...friend of Father Philip Berrigan's-a close friend, he would add. True, there was something in his attitude, a superficiality, that caused some to question him. But whenever doubts were raised, those close to Berrigan would brush them aside. Their trust in Boyd F. Douglas was implicit. It was also misplaced; he is the informer upon whose testimony the Government's conspiracy charges against Berrigan and five other defendants depend heavily (TIME cover...

U.S. troops have been coming out of Viet Nam at the rate of about 12,500 a month. By mid-1971, according to public pronouncements by both Defense Secretary Melvin Laird and Secretary of State William Rogers, nearly all U.S. troops will be out of combat. North Vietnamese infiltration into the South totaled 50,000 men in the first seven months of 1970, according to the U.S. command...
