...first time in years, the American command is not predicting the date of the next expected offensive. The reason is that the usual sources of intelligence-captured documents, prisoners and deserters-reveal virtually nothing. The most that can be gleaned is that local Communist commanders have heard of vague plans for a new drive some time in the fall...
...another large offensive such as the 1968 Tet attack that irreparably disillusioned the American public about the war. U.S. commanders still concede the Communists the capability of launching a drive that could easily boost U.S. battle deaths to more than 300 a week. It is precisely for this reason that field commanders have resisted suggestions to lessen pressure on the Communists. Such tactics, they have always argued, would ultimately increase allied casualties...

As the third front opened up, there seemed more reason than ever for the observers to remain.

Such cooperative ventures are still far too rare to set a pattern; if anything, the cur rent trend indicates a discouraging deterioration. But the scattered alliances formed thus far suggest exciting possibilities - and a clear challenge for unions, corporations and politicians at every level to work toward an atmosphere of tolerance based upon rational self-interest...
