...slightly confused as to the charge itself-conspiracy to violate the Selective Service Act. Would it not seem more appropriate to indict him for enacting a huge fraud on the American public? After all, pretending to be an expert on baby care, when all the time his real prowess lay in deciding U.S. military policy, in evaluating the Selective Service System, and in setting foreign policy in general...
...game the week before, and his shooting percentage from the field-four out of 18-was unbelievably low. But Hayes had the range. In the first half alone he scored 29 points (out of his team's 46), with delicate jump shots and driving, twisting lay-ups.

Poppa Press just says: "I get to the point where I don't coach him. I just watch...
...pretty clear--from Rusk's puzzlement in front of the press--that Trinh's speech came as a shock to official Washington. American officials had come in the last month or so of 1967 to believe that the best chances of peace lay in the opening of talks between the Saigon government and the Vietcong. As President Johnson hinted on TV just before Christmas, the war was being fought over South Vietnam and the opposing internal forces were in the best position...
