...Hanoi's own, why the decision to commit a fledgling force of some 60 MIG-15s and 17s and only 15 MIG-215 to combat with the vastly larger and more experienced American air armada? The most likely explanation: in severing Hanoi's rail links to China, the U.S. was hitting so uncomfortably close to home that every defense had to be employed. Under the high drama of last week's dogfights, the workhorse bombers were busy as ever. Guam-based B-52s unloaded 300 tons of high explosives on the Mu Gia Pass infiltration route into...
...most city councilors boycotted the welcoming ceremonies, and crowds were sparse when De Gaulle's black convertible Simca rolled up in a drumming rain. De Gaulle looked glum himself as he toured the annual Lille trade fair and peered myopically through thick-lensed horn-rims at model rail ways, bridal gowns of Lille lace, and a pair of red-trimmed pelicans that expressed the mood of the day by turning their backs on the President...
...this corporate marriage,the Pennsy will play the husband. Its 97,400 shareholders will hold 61% of the stock in the new company and control 14 of the 25 directorships.

Also in a suitcase were tape recordings of what the prosecutor said were the voices of Lesley Anne and the two defendants. Said Sir Elwyn to the all-male jury: "I am afraid you will have to suffer...
...largest number of strikes in a day since regular bombing of Ho Chi Minh's domain began more than a year ago. For the first time since November, Air Force flyers penetrated north of Hanoi and Haiphong, blasting with 750-to 3,000-lb. bombs the road and rail lines carrying supplies from Red China. Concentrating on lines of communication since then, the U.S. raiders have increased their destruction of materiel headed south from an estimated 15% to 25%. One certain sign that Hanoi is hurting: an increase in trucking by day when the targets are easier...
