All told, the Communists and the Thieu regime have charged more than 90,000 truce violations, ranging from isolated shellings to battalion-level battles.

Although Luce was on close terms with the son of his old friend Joe Kennedy, LIFE's editorial page gave a narrow endorsement to Nixon. When Luce suggested that, as a Democrat, J.F.K. would naturally adopt a liberal domestic policy, the elder Kennedy seemed surprised. "Harry," he erupted, "you know goddam well no son of mine could ever be a goddam liberal...
