To ease pressure on the Marines at the DMZ, the U.S. could stage an Inchon-style landing north of the 17th parallel, silence the guns that are raking Con Thien and Gio Linh, and pull out again. And, as the Joint Chiefs unanimously recommend, bombers could mine Haiphong harbor-a proposal that has consistently been rejected by Johnson, Mc-Namara and Dean Rusk. Were Haiphong choked off, argues Joint Chief Chairman General Earle Wheeler, most of the $1-billion-a-year flow of arms from Russia would dry up and the war would end in a "relatively" short...

Outside Houston, Texas Gulf Sulphur reopened its Old Gulf mine, a relic that the company had worked for 13 years before closing it in 1932 when it was thought to be no longer profitable. Freeport has turned to offshore deposits that were once considered prohibitively expensive. It has one Gulf of Mexico operation already under way, will start production...
