...have given false security to the students who have scored 200 on the College Board S.A.T.'s. Your article [Jan. 5] states the minimum score is 0, but you get 200 points for just signing your name to the answer sheet. The S.A.T. scale runs from 200 to 800. A hopeful note: a survey of the 550 Eastern colleges and universities participating with this Center reveals that these admissions directors look first at the applicant's course grade average, then at his class rank, finally at his College Board scores...

In northernmost I Corps, the Communists have already made 98 separate attacks on the U.S. Marine-ARVN Combined Action Platoons and overrun two of their outposts so far this year. Though they have won no major victories, the Communists have made a sizable show of force and demonstrated their ability to fight hard, if they choose to, in nearly every province in Viet Nam. Lieut. General Bruce Palmer, Deputy...

Countering the suggestion of Bolivian President René Barrientos that Bolivia's Marxist Prisoner Régis Debray be swapped for Castro Prisoner Huber Matos (TIME, Jan. 12), Castro offered to release 100 political prisoners in return for the body of Che Guevara. He may have in mind something like Lenin's tomb...
