...existence on U.S. determination and skill. After a U.S. retreat from South Viet Nam, not many would care to make such a bet. In short, withdrawal would largely destroy American credibility as a reliable anti-Communist ally-in Bangkok, in Seoul, in Manila and elsewhere. It would push Cambodia and Indonesia completely into China's lap. Malaysia would catch the brunt of this power realignment, thus forcing the British into a narrow, nasty corner. According to many experts, Russia would regret this move as much as the U.S., since it would immensely strengthen Peking's pretensions...

"You get behind another car, and the pointer goes way up, especially where you have a slowdown of traffic." Top readings come at the nightmarish interchanges, where curling roadways tangle like spaghetti on a fork and hundreds of car engines pant in frustration. "Tunnels and depressions concentrate the carbon monoxide," says the professor...
