WEDNESDAY At 7:45 p.m., two white California highway patrol officers spotted a car weaving recklessly around the southeast Los Angeles slum districts. After a six-block chase, the troopers halted the car in Watts - and arrested its Negro driver, Marquette Frye, 21. Out of Frye's nearby home came his mother, scolding her son for being drunk. In front of some 25 other Negroes standing near by, Frye started to struggle with the patrolmen. "You're not going to take me to jail," Officer Lee Mini-kus quoted him as saying. "You're going to have...

...sweeps and pointing out known Reds. Marines were waiting when two companies of Communists mounted a counterattack last June. After a three-hour fight, the Reds withdrew, leaving eight dead. Clement's men have also adapted to the technique of ambush; when his squads go off on patrol, a few men often peel off to remain as long as three days staked out on bug-ridden back-country trails. So far, they have killed as many as eight Communists a night by using such tactics. "We've licked the Viet Cong because we've surprised them more...

...ever seen on any body of water in the world. Desperate Cubans flee north in sailboats, rafts-even inner tubes. At night, weird vessels churn among the mangrove and coral cays on secret missions for no one is quite sure whom. One morning last week, a U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat 65 miles off Cuba drew alongside one of the strangest yet: an aged, 165-ft., grey-hulled converted yacht named the Seven Seas, adrift and seemingly unmanned-until a ragged youth crawled warily from a hatch. "The captain," he shouted, "is dead...

Said Belli: "Servicemen take it for granted, and they're also told by the Government, that if something is defective it's their hard luck. They don't know that even if they're on patrol in Viet Nam, and their rifle goes boom and injures them because it's defective, they can sue the guy that manufactured it." To hear Belli tell it, he could collect damages for the families of the men lost when the nuclear submarine Thresher went down...

...other administration personnel or as military nurses, welfare workers and interpreters. But in the nature of the dirty war, a uniform is not necessary for bravery. When a V.C. unit attacked a tiny outpost in Tay Ninh province last year while the post's men were on night patrol, their wives grabbed rifles and tommy guns and coolly held off the attackers until the men returned. In the Dong Xoai battle, Private Nguyen Van Ngoc was pinned down in his machine-gun pit by heavy fire. His wife was with him. Ignoring the crossfire, she raced back and forth...
