...Benjamin Spock, 64, attempted to define himself before the television cameras in his Manhattan apartment. "I'm not a pacifist," declared the man who was once more concerned with diaper rash than diatribes. "I was very much for the war against Hitler and I supported the intervention in Korea. But in this war, we went in to steal Viet Nam." Spock's efforts to foil that imagined attempt at grand larceny led last week to his indictment by a federal Grand Jury on charges that could lead to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine...

South Korea ran up a payments surplus of some $100 million last year, partly by exporting such military items as jungle boots, uniforms and galvanized steel for troops fighting in Viet Nam. One result is spreading prosperity-including even traffic jams -in Korean cities. Men are turning to woolen suits and many...
...then explained how the historical perspective restricts the possible outcomes of the game: "The situation must be analyzed with respect to what kinds of actions the real countries involved were reasonably open to take. Transania stood for Russia, New Zenith for the U.S., Nordo for India, Inland for North Korea, Outland for South Korea, and Hamil was Red China.
