...Americans finally persuaded Yeu to meet with Danang's new commander, General Ton That Dinh, who had arrived from Saigon. The two officers talked, slapped each other's back, seemed to reach an agreement for the removal of the howitzers. But Yeu kept them trained on the Danang base, demanding the removal of the Vietnamese marines. For three days, the marines and Yeu remained eyeball-to-eyeball, gun-to-gun. Finally, last week, the central government ordered the Vietnamese marines to leave the base, and Yeu abandoned his position...
...track and cross-country teams at Pomona College for four years, covered the 26-miles 385-yard course in two hours, 49 minutes, and 53 seconds. It was the first race of any kind he has run since November, but his ten-mile solitary workouts over the winter kept him in good enough shape to place 51st yesterday...

To halt that ominous trend, Erlander expects to give his country an unpleasant antidote that the U.S., confronted with almost the same problem, has so far spurned: a strongly deflationary budget, stiff...
...changes all tunes. When Guy Chapman, a fledgling lawyer from the best of schools-Westminster and Oxford-marched off to war in 1915, his ragged battalion of London clerks, shopkeepers and dockers kept more or less in step to the bombastic brass of The British Grenadiers. Three years later, when, statistically, they were all dead, they marched better, but sang less nobly. Yet Chapman's battalion had earned the right to its cynical gallantry. In an introductory note to the reissue of his 1933 classic documentary of World War I, Chapman marks the score: "At the Armistice in November...
