...these days of the "credibility gap" and "overkill" in Vietnam, a sort of ancient parallel in the battle of Marathon, as so brilliantly described by Professor N.G.L. Hammond of Bristol University on Tuesday, may be instructive. The sources are exclusively Greek, and they report the battle as an over-whelming victory of a small force over an enormous enemy army. The sympathies of all readers are well conditioned. The meticulous and detailed analysis of Professor Hammond uncovered a flaw in the onesided Classical presentation of the battle. The Ionian Greeks in the army of the Persians secretly informed their cousins...
...their fate? The U.S. has decided that to be certified as a terrorist, a suspect must appear before an officer's tribunal (including one military lawyer). Then and only then can he be handed over to the South Vietnamese for civilian criminal trial. South Vietnamese government orders parallel U.S. policy and specifically forbids summary punishment.

And though Korea depends on U.S. industry for weapons and some supplies, this hardly explains why two U.S. divisions patrol one third the length of the 38th parallel armistice line.

...begin flowing toward Tumaco at year's end. By then, Texaco plans to have 25 producing wells pumping an average of 2,000 bbl. daily. Best guess is that the pipeline's top capacity of 100,000 bbl. a day will not be sufficient and that a parallel line will have to be constructed. Estimates place the cost of the total project at about $100 million before the first drop of crude oil reaches Tumaco tankers...
