Danang was infiltrated briefly three weeks ago, but the real enemy interest seems to be elsewhere. Farther south in I Corps, the U.S. Americal and the South Vietnamese 2nd Divisions pushed west of Quang Ngai city last week to try to forestall an anticipated attack on that provincial capital.

...write off 1968-69 as the silly season. Phyllis Diller, who bombed in an ABC sitchcom two years ago, will try a variety hour for NBC titled The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show. The format includes a twist: in one segment each week, she will interview a celebrity. But the real get-the-guest free-for-all should be ABC's Don Rickles Show. Rickles, the insult comic, will knock off a guest or two per weekly half-hour. ABC will also try TV's first weekly book musical, That's Life. For continuity, the one-hour show...
