...half a million by next spring. The problem is that the enemy's buildup continues to match, step for step, that of the U.S. In the past year, the allies have not been able to increase their troop-strength advantage of 4 to 1, despite the influx of Americans. Although the Communists in the first seven months of 1966 have had 25,250 men killed-more than three times the number of allied combat dead-and lost another 15,000 in prisoners and defectors, the latest intelligence reports put total Communist troop strength in South Viet...
...recluse dwelling in the straight-up-and-down cliffs of the Macquarie River. In the southern snow fields of the Crackenback Range around Thredbo, Smiggin Holes and Jindabyne, pretty, blue-eyed Mrs. Yvonne Slypen, 30, slipped about on skis counting the locals-a job complicated by an influx of 2,000 visitors for the Giant Slalom ski championships in Perisher Valley...

France would be happy to allow NATO's political council to remain in Paris, he said, and would continue its membership...
Chicago's school problems are immense enough to make any superintendent unpopular. The system is short of money, requires 1,700 new teachers each year simply as replacements, needs still more buildings, has an influx of Southern Negroes and an outgo of suburban-bound whites that has pushed the nonwhite proportion of students up to 52% and makes meaningful integration difficult. Yet Willis has vastly aggravated his problems by arrogantly dismissing all criticism, stifling staff initiative, and running the system as a one-man show...
