...used. Cargo ships themselves will do the ice-breaking." In a prelude to such an era, two Alexbow-equipped barges will be driven by a 5,000-h.p. trawler through 200 miles of Arctic ice this summer to supply a consortium drilling for oil on Canada's northernmost islands...
...places remain in South Viet Nam where Communist forces enjoy anything like a sanctuary and can operate with relative impunity. One is the A Shau Valley in northernmost I Corps, which was taken by the North Vietnamese two years ago when they overran a U.S. Special Forces camp and has been held by them ever since. The other is the U Minh Forest deep in the Delta, a Viet Cong domain since the end of World War II. Last week U.S. airpower-with, in one instance, a major assist from nature-was put to work to destroy those sanctuaries...
...battlefields, the allies have once more moved out to the offensive. Operation Pegasus, in the northernmost I Corps area, opened vital Route 9 for the first time since last August, relieved Khe Sanh, and last week recaptured the outpost of Lang Vei, which was overrun by the North Vietnamese in February.

Two fresh divisions have moved south across the DMZ in the past ten days, swelling Giap's forces in Viet Nam's two northernmost provinces to at least 60,000 men.

In the Western part of I Corps and III Corps, they are even boldly paving and bulldozing roads to speed their convoys. Tank treads have...
Viet Nam's northernmost corps, unwilling host to some 55,000 North Vietnamese invaders, is less a pacification prospect than an open battlefield. It was there that the 24-day battle for Hue took place, the most determined of the Communists' 35 attacks on South Vietnamese cities. Some 5,350 civilians were killed in all, including 4,100 in Hué; another 4,500 were seriously injured. The existing refugee ranks of 250,000 were swelled by an additional 107,000, some 90,000 of these from Hue alone-out of the city's pre-Tet population...
