Organized by the Moscow-dominated World Federation of Democratic Youth, the organization has already sent volunteers to twelve countries, including Ghana, Tanzania, India, Pakistan, Cuba, Mongolia and several Arab nations. Their activities usually parallel those of the U.S. Peace Corps, and the two groups, in fact, often work in the same towns. The Communists say that their new volunteers will be sent to teach in the Sudan, set up a clinic in the Congo, and build a school and irrigation dams in India, a youth center in Somalia, a sanitarium in Mongolia and a hospital on Cyprus. Averaging between...
McNamara said that the bombing could not have any coercive effect but merely impeded Hanoi's efforts to infiltrate men and supplies below the 17th parallel. He also hinted that the restrained bombing might have significant diplomatic bargaining value. But just following McNamara testimony, the Administration approved raids on areas--like the port city of Haiphong--McNamara wanted left untouched...
McNamara's third major clash with the generals over Vietnam policy in the last year concerned the construction of a $3 billion anti-infiltration barrier across the 17th parallel.

But the pro-bombing generals insisted that it would be ineffectual, and would commit large numbers of troops to stand guard at the border. Since McNamara is now leaving, there is some doubt that the controversial barrier will ever go into operation...
...itself has failed to supply. He also believes that if Viet Nam had gone Communist in the early '50s, it would not have mattered much to U.S. interests.

Under his peace plan, the Viet Cong would be given undisputed rule of the areas they now control. The next stage calls for North and South Viet Nam to be united as one country whose neutrality would...
...uses sex in any form whatsoever. Since most of the advertisers are "regulars" one must assume they do very well without using sex. All sixty display advertisements in the August, 1967, issue of ELECTRONIC PROCUREMENT told their story, sold their products, without sex symbolism of any kind. We could parallel this in dozens of fine commercial and industrial publications that move millions of dollars' worth of goods and services each year...
