...charge of the government's anticorruption drive is Premier Nguyen Van Loc, a Saigon lawyer with no administrative experience, no political base of his own-and a Cabinet under him teeming with powerful generals. So weak is Loc's position that the truculent National Assembly, unable to muster enough votes to attack Thieu directly, was narrowly persuaded last week to drop a no-confidence vote against Loc. Still, on Loc's orders, Vietnamese courts have tried 32 South Viet namese servicemen and eight civilians on charges of embezzlement of government funds, bribery and associated crimes. All have...

Wilson has even had problems with his healthy players. Chris Gallagher just hasn't been able to regain the form he flashed as a sophomore. In two games against Columbia, Gallagher could muster only eight points and the Harvard offense fell apart.

This year, at least 900,000 more will muster out-all of them to face an adjustment problem unique among U.S. war vets. The men who fought in World Wars I and II and Korea found gratitude and the traditional heroes' welcome awaiting them at home; the Vietvet returns with no fanfare to a nation whose response ranges from a noncommittal...
