...reporters trying to cover North Viet Nam, the most sophisticated transportation is of little use: the country is hermetically sealed off to Americans and most other Westerners. For the WORLD cover story on Ho Chi Minh, The Jungle Marxist, TIME correspondents had to use patient intelligence methods-the legwork of the mind-which consisted largely of debriefing travelers, businessmen, diplomats, refugees. One of the hard facts about the North Vietnamese enemy, of course, is how independent he is of modern transportation, tirelessly moving along the forest trails. To rescue Asia from that enemy, said TIME...

The refinement of the atrocities by Ho Chi Minh's men upon our countrymen will never be forgotten by anyone who ever served in Indo-China...
...sitting idly at Phucyen, just northwest of Hanoi. U.S. officials assume that the planes are Russian-piloted and represent Moscow's fulfillment-along with three antiaircraft missile sites under construction near the capital-of Premier Aleksei Kosygin's February pledge to give material aid to Ho Chi Minh. The Ilyushins are slow (580 m.p.h.) and they pack a light bomb load; still they could reach South Viet...
