...Americans. "I am not persuaded that troop levels are the crux of the problem," says one high U.S. official. "I think the big thing we need is a shining example of what life can be like under a proper, representative government." Also, though Hanoi may be approaching the limit of its ability to aid Communist forces in the South, there is still no assurance that it might not, as it has before, match a U.S. buildup by sending in more troops, restoring the status quo ante...
...Wilbur Mills is not the kind of Congressman to make the same mistake twice. Earlier this month, when the House of Representatives dealt its Ways and Means Committee chairman-and the Johnson Administration-a humil iating defeat by voting down a routine bill to raise the Federal debt limit, Mills determined to make his own nose count rather than rely on the arithmetic of White House lobbyists.

...program is not likely to bring any rush of foreign capital. The first step, which takes effect next month, raises the limit on outside investment in existing Japanese companies from 15% to a still meager 20%. As far as new ventures go, non-Japanese capital will be allowed a 100% interest in 17 industries such as cement, steel and shipbuilding-areas in which Japanese firms are almost unchallengeable. In 33 other fields, including cameras, watches and plate glass, outsiders will be permitted up to a 50% interest, as long as control stays with Japanese partners...
