...cameras photograph Ho Chi Minh's missile sites. Its sensitive in struments help police to identify paint smears on hit-and-run victims, enable conservationists to check traces of water pollution in fish. Its products helped in the creation of the first atomic bomb, also made possible the production of synthetic penicillin and vitamin B12. All of these tasks-and many more- are the business of a little-known Connecticut company named Perkin-Elmer Corp., one of the fastest growing members of the fast-growing scientific instrument industry. Variety has paid well for Perkin-Elmer: last week it reported...
Three days of repeated raids took out the Ban Thach hydroelectric plant 80 miles south of Hanoi. Since the plant was of obvious value to Ho Chi Minh's military organization, its destruction did not mean that the U.S. had decided to escalate the war further by attacking purely civilian targets.

The sobering fact is that at present the U.S. military has no certain means of determining just where Ho's missiles...
...North Vietnamese regulars, infiltrated south since the beginning of the year. No longer are the Viet Cong armed mostly with captured U.S. weapons; quantities of Red Chinese assault rifles, machine guns, mortars and rocket launchers have poured into the country via North Viet Nam, either down the Ho Chi Minh trail...
