...guns were lowered to fire pointblank, and cooks and headquarters clerks joined the gun crews in manning the defense. U.S. planes, directed by Sergeant Mark Ridley of San Antonio, soon swept in to blast the attackers. When the attack began, Ridley and his squad found themselves out on patrol a quarter of a mile from the camp and with a direct view of the enemy's principal rallying point. Time and again as the Communists moved to fresh attack, Ridley called down explosives and napalm right on their heads-once within 16 yards of his own position...

Last week TIME's Glenn Troelstrup became the first newsman in Viet Nam permitted to accompany a Seal team on a mission. Dropped by Navy river patrol boats deep into Viet Cong country southeast of Saigon in the swampy mangrove sector of Rung Sat, the Seals set up an ambush beside a small stream. There, for 14 long hours, they froze in position, hip-deep in mud, clad in camouflage suits and bush hats, their faces blackened. Their...

Last January no more than a dozen Soviet warships sailed upon what has been for years the NATO domain, of the 50-ship U.S. Sixth Fleet. Now 45 to 55 Soviet ships, including missile-firing destroyers, plus a dozen submarines, patrol the Mediterranean. The Russians supply their ships at sea, sometimes drop into Alexandria, Port Said and the Syrian port of Latakia for repairs under the pretext of good-will visits.

...looking for camera and tape-recorder bargains offered by its freeport status, and perhaps an instant custom suit for $35 ordered and fitted within 48 hours. Hong Kong is also the most popular R & R center for the Seventh Fleet; the arrival and departure of U.S. ships coming off patrol duty off Viet Nam is recorded on an updated blackboard at many a bar-dancehall in its famed Wanchai district. Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore get fewer applicants-mostly those who want to avoid the sight of fellow Americans...
