...report based on recent visits to China by Western newsmen-the Toronto Star's Mark Gayn, Agence France Presse's Jacques Marcuse, Danish Photographer Ole Neesgaard (who shot some of the color footage)-as well as interviews with recently returned Korean War Defector Morris Wills, Authoress Han Suyin and Secretary of State Dean Rusk...
...sorties. The Pentagon plans to use 638,000 tons of bombs in Viet Nam in 1966 alone, 40% of the amount used against Germany in Africa and Europe from mid-1942 until the end of World War II and 91% of the total dropped in the entire 37-month Korean War. The recent reduction in bombing runs, McNamara pointed out, occurred because "political disorders" in Saigon slowed ground operations throughout South Viet Nam. Nevertheless, he said, there would certainly be "an increase in the extent and intensity of the conflict" in coming weeks...
...like canned laughter or the new 25? piece. That is because Benchley's plots generally straddle the line of plausibility. Like most of his eight other novels, The Monument depends on readers who are willing to believe the unbelievable.

None of the characters ever fully escape...
...Sponge. The rush to do business with China dismays Washington, which has maintained a total embargo on Peking trade since the Korean War-and has tried with diminishing success to persuade its allies to do the same. The nations of Western Europe have agreed not to sell the Chinese any "strategic" goods, but opinions vary considerably about just what trade there should be. It would appear obvious that steel is highly strategic. The Germans argue that they are not really providing the Chinese with steel but merely with a plant to process steel that China would produce anyway...
...made a market for other supplies. South Viet Nam, in spite of the war, still exports rice to both India and Japan. In return, India has sold it irrigation pumps and sugar-mill machinery, while in other Asian countries factories are busy sewing pajamas for Vietnamese war refugees. A Korean construction firm recently won a $5,000,000 contract to dredge five Vietnamese harbors. Taiwan is contracting to ship $2,000,000 worth of two different kinds of gravel, one to be used in building runways and the other a special variety that is used in water-filtration plants. Carrying...
