...seems certain that U.S. withdrawal or a Communist victory could lead only to a unified Communist government under Ho Chi Minh. For if the Viet Cong were once isolated peasant revolutionaries, they now seem to be a substantial army controlled by Hanoi. Their weapons and communication equipment are modern. Both government and newspaper reports claim that these supplies are now being shipped from the North. And it is difficult to believe that the North Vietnamese would commit two army divisions now fighting in the South to a command it does not control...
Last week he almost made it again. Nursing their crippled craft, the two pilots kept airborne for 170 miles-then had to eject near the town of Thanh Hoa, within sight of the water but still over Ho Chi Minh's real estate. Risner landed in a paddyfield, his buddy several miles away. Their squadron mates, circling them, saw both flyers on the ground with no signs of injuries. But by the time rescue aircraft from the carrier Independence reached the area, Risner and his buddy had disappeared, and the beeps from Risner's emergency transmitter had ceased...
...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. Its loss would be felt, however, by the civilians whose browned-out towns had depended on it for what little electricity was available for the area. "It's a way to make the North Viet Nam people know there's a war going on," said...
...Skyhawk felt the long arm of SAM-just as an Air Force Phantom had on July 24. The flight was out of range of any of the North Vietnamese missile sites so far identified by U.S. aerial intelligence, leading to the conclusion that Russia is supplying Ho Chi Minh with mobile surface-to-air missiles, much like the U.S.-built Hawk missile units that were installed in South Viet Nam last February. The sobering fact is that at present the U.S. military has no certain means of determining just where Ho's missiles...
