...retaking of Sam Thong raised the morale of Prince Souvanna Phouma's government. But at week's end, after a transient lull, the Communists launched a new rocket and mortar attack on Sam Thong, advancing to within 200 yards of the base's airstrip. There was also ominous evidence of continued Communist buildups around Vang Pao's home base just 20 miles to the south...
...struggle between the races in America is indeed the struggle for the soul of a nation. Lately a lull seems to have descended on that struggle.
