...there was an ominous upsurge in Communist military preparations, prompting the Allies to send in heavy reinforcements. North of the 17th parallel, the U.S. air war was measurably intensified by the first bombing raids within the city limits of Haiphong, North Viet Nam's second city and principal port...

A few off-limits areas remain nonetheless-Haiphong's port facilities and its huge cement plant, Hanoi's industries, the MIG airfields and the dikes that channel water to the Red River rice bowl...

When its pumps begin pushing oil next month, the T.A.L. will be Europe's largest pipeline; eventually it will move one million barrels of crude...
