An unremitting stream of TV clips and still photographs-such as LIFE'S classic shot of wounded U.S. Marines stacked aboard a tank in Hue-daily underscored the war's horror. Since the widespread attacks began on Jan. 31, the U.S. has lost an average of 500 men a week, pushing the overall casualty total-Americans killed in action or wounded-since the beginning of 1961 above Korean War totals...

The trend is summed up by Tim Hardin, 26, a sometime performer and gifted songwriter (If I Were a Carpenter, The Lady Came from Baltimore) who lives and composes at a mountain hideaway...
