...Well done, America! Once again the U.S. is standing up to aggression, as it did in Korea and Cuba. The men of Peking and Hanoi must learn that they cannot attack the U.S. Navy and get away with it. Fifty years ago, Britain was willing to protect a small country against an aggressor. The U.S. today carries on that tradition...
...action as a "limited and measured response fitted precisely to the attack that produced it, and the deployment of additional U.S. forces to Southeast Asia is designed to make unmistakably clear that the U.S. cannot be diverted by military attack from its obligations to help its friends establish and protect their independence." Stevenson readily accepted the Soviet Union's rather dispirited demand that the Hanoi government be invited to tell its story to the U.N. Council, on condition that South Viet Nam also would be heard...
...first glance, Saigon seemed hardly disturbed by the violent events taking place in the Gulf of Tonkin last week (see THE NATION). Secure in the knowledge that thousands of troops were deployed in the outskirts to protect the city from the Viet Cong, students and politicians lounged idly at sidewalk cafes, carping endlessly about the government's handling of the war. Shops bustled with busy shoppers: thousands of insect-like Renault taxis still clogged the streets. And as always, at midday practically everyone went home for the traditional siesta...
...road to Stan marched the "Popular Army of Liberation," a ragtag band of tribesmen carrying spears and an occasional captured rifle. But each rebel also carried a magic wand, which he fully believed would protect him from bullets, and the 1,000 Congolese soldiers and gendarmes who opposed the rebel force at Stanleyville last week shared that belief. By the time the angry, ragged rebels reached the city, all but 50 of its battle-weary defenders had thrown their arms into the Congo River and ducked out, many of them disguised as women...
What of the uninvited guest? Traditionally, the landowner owed practically no duty of care to trespassers. But this, too, is changing. For example, the unfolding doctrine of "attractive nuisance" holds that owners must protect trespassing children of tender years from enticing dangers that they cannot understand. Until recently, the courts refused to apply this concept to swimming pools. Parents were responsible for their tots who strayed into other people's pools. But in 1959, the California Supreme Court ruled in King v. Lennen that the owner of a poorly fenced pool was liable for the death...
