...prisoners have been exchanged, and Viet Cong officers-escorted always by South Vietnamese security troops-drive around Saigon. There is also the ineffectual presence of the four-nation International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS), created to monitor the adherence of both sides to the truce.

The Los Angeles Lakers, listless and barely able to survive their first-round clash with the bruising Chicago Bulls, came roaring back to polish off the Golden State Warriors in five games. The Knicks, helped by an injury that all but immobilized Celtic Star John Havlicek, ran up a commanding lead of three games to one, then lost two in a row.
