...Department public relations officers make an effort, yawn, to explain that the U. S. is only bombing the NLF supply lines in Laos. But as Noam ???? defend the bombing of population centers and civilian targets in Northern Laos by saying that the U. S. is bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Nerthern Laos is at the opposite end of the country. Chomsky interviewed one Laotian refugee in a concentration camp outside of Vientiane recently who told him that the U. S. had bombed his village and forced them to move into the hills and build tunnels to protect themselves. Then...
Their heroes apparently are Che Guevara, Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Cong.

Along the Mekong in northern Cambodia, Communist troops have captured Kratie and Chhlong; last week they attacked Stung Treng, a key town at the confluence of the Se Kong and the Mekong, and sent...
Another anniversary, perhaps more instructive in 1970 than V-E day, passed unmarked in the U.S. last week. On May 7, 1954, Viet Minh troops overran the 10,000-soldier garrison of French Brigadier General Christian de Castries at Dienbienphu...
