...first northern division to infiltrate across the narrow Demilitarized Zone-and, thanks to quick Marine action, the first northern division to be driven back across the border of the DMZ. In the beginning, according to U.S. intelligence reports, the Communists planned an outright invasion of the border province of Quang Tri. But the aggressive probing of Operations Hastings and Prairie has apparently thrown Hanoi's timing off. In the past month, more and more Marines have been shifted northward to the immediate area of the DMZ; last week, U.S. strength in the far north was beefed...

There, just south of the inaccurately named Demilitarized Zone, a task force of six Marine battalions has been battling two entire divisions of North Vietnamese regulars whose apparent aim is to invade Quang Tri province.

...getting mighty hard to tell the new craters from the old," remarked a pilot returning from the battered Panhandle. Cratered anew were the Quang Khe missile complex, the Due Tho storage area, and a spread of staging areas, oil dumps and antiaircraft sites. Though flak has thinned considerably in the region, two U.S. planes were shot down. As one pilot's parachute was buffeted by tricky wind currents, his anxious wingman radioed to ask him how he was doing. "Swinging, man," came the reply...
