...Communists obviously meant to rebuild the broken Viet Cong, shat ter Saigon's pacification program and destroy confidence in ARVN-in short, to end the relative peace that the regime of President Nguyen Van Thieu has enjoyed ever since U.S. and ARVN troops broke up the Cambodian sanctuaries in 1970. Thus, in Saigon the offensive is not considered to be the "final battle" that Richard Nixon called it last week. Rather, it is beginning to be called the start of the Third Indochina War, succeeding the first war waged against the French in the 1940s...
...that. I believe that in America. I mean the Great America, and not some administration of some given time of history, is in fact serving the real ideal that every free man should fight for and I am among them. But unfortunately for this time of the human rebuild-up we are converging towards a new world and I think the new equilibrium has not been found yet. That's why we haven't been able so far to find our real wise solution, but in fact there are some basic rules. As long as every nation would recognize...
...bedrock car nuts, and there are tens of thousands of them in L.A., are the car customizers, the people who are forever rebuilding cars. The Nossecks are typical. Donald Nosseck, some extra cash on hand from his chain of dress shops and dissatisfied with his Toyota 2000GT, took the car to Chief Kar Kustomizer George Barris, out in North Hollywood, and had Barris totally rebuild the little sports car into something more like an old Jaguar XK.140.

Ritter, professor of finance at New York University, calculates that during the rest of the decade, public spending will have to average $46 billion a year above 1970 levels for just four purposes: rebuilding mass-transit systems, cleaning up pollution, upgrading law enforcement and improving education. Spending needs would rise even more if the U.S. decided to rebuild its cities or start a nationwide system of low-cost health care, as it should. There is no excuse for the world's richest nation to rank 13th...
...LONG RUN urbanization will create major political problems. Typically, the second generation--the children of the slums, not the migrants to the slums--provides participants for urban riots and insurrections. After the war, massive government programs will be required either to resettle migrants in rural areas or to rebuild the cities and promote peacetime urban employment. In the meantime, while the war continues, urbanization is significantly altering the balance of power between the Saigon Government and the Viet Cong...
