Because the Viet Cong are able to operate so freely in the Delta, apparently as the result of at least a partial accommodation with the South Vietnamese, the U.S. believes that the war cannot be successfully concluded until the region is pacified (see THE WORLD). To that end, American troops will be sent into the Delta, probably in the next few months, to begin fighting what promises to be virtually a whole...

The ones that pick up the high frequencies are the first to wear out, and as the noise bombardment continues, the destruction creeps inward to nerves of lower frequency-all without the hearer being aware of damage. About 18 million Americans suffer total or partial deafness; among working males two out of three cases of deafness are caused by noise...
Those Good Old Ways. The heyday of Hines was in the 1930s, when from the throne of a white grand piano he led the band at Chicago's Grand Terrace ballroom, which flourished under the partial ownership of Al Capone and cronies.

Either way, Medicare pays only...
...other areas, Harvard has also made improvements. For example Dean Robert B. Watson has established a good working relationship with the Cambridge police. As the partial result, the police are consistently excellent in handling student disturbances, which range from springtime "riots" to anti-war protests. In addition, there seems to be a silent concord between Harvard and the police to let the University handle its own disciplinary problems...
