...first small contingent of U.S. troops received the word last week that their Viet Nam duty would soon be over, a widely scattered crew of TIME'S own Viet Nam veterans recalled their service with the Saigon press corps. For as the U.S. commitment in Viet Nam grew over the years, so did TIME'S. By now, our bureaus all over the world are staffed with men who have put in tours as combat correspondents; TIME casualties included one dead and seven wounded...

Danish Communist leaders get three free suits a year made in East Germany, and some parties get a rake-off on whatever trade or tourism their countries do with the Soviet...
...mankind. Their future expansion, while not as likely as it seemed 20 years ago, is by no means impossible. But neither failed Marxist theory nor entrenched Marxist power explains why Marxism can today provide slogans for the uproar in U.S. colleges and ghettos, courage for guerrillas in Viet Nam, flickers of hope for anxious intellectuals and bewildered peasants...
