...whom I have a good deal of faith and confidence that my returning to the U.S. could make a significant difference in the prospects for Scranton's nomination. I felt a tremendous responsibility in this matter. I even felt the pressure here in Viet Nam. One afternoon I ran into a young Army captain, and he asked, 'Sir, are you going home to help Scranton?', and when I said I was not, all he said was 'Oh,' but the tone of his voice made me feel like a slacker. A few days later I decided...
Call's armor broke through two of the Viet Cong lines and might well have carried the final one. But most of the tanks had to retire when they ran out of .50-cal. ammunition. The Viet Cong began moving around each flank, and the order came for government troops to disengage. Although the Reds remained in control of the field of battle, the cost had been catastrophic.

In earlier times, the ten were invariably Congregational ministers from Connecticut, like Yale's founding fathers. This pattern was smashed in 1905: the corporation admitted a Congregational minister from New York. The only Congregationalist left is Amos N. Wilder...
...good part of the money is also being saved or used to reduce personal debts. Only 153 out of every 10,000 installment borrowers are behind by 30 days or more in their payments, the lowest number in five years. New deposits in savings and loan associations during May ran 3% higher than in the same month in 1963, the first such gain this year. To Washington's chart watchers, this is a clue that many Americans are building up a backlog of spendable funds that will contribute to keeping the economic expansion going...
