...most recent border clash, on March 15, fell far short of being a decisive incident. Details being released gradually in Moscow, however, assert that the Chinese force involved was the equivalent of a regiment-about 3,000 men. It is in the Soviet interest to portray China's belligerence in lurid terms. Moscow's reports were strongly phrased and probably exaggerated. The Chinese employed their Korea-proven "human wave" attacks-and Moscow claims that Russian casualities were heavy, although exact totals have not been released so far. A Soviet counterattack, using armored cars, reportedly cleared the island. Soviet...
...Davenport is a relative latecomer to track. He did not begin running the hurdles in earnest until his senior year at Howland High School in Warren, Ohio. Then he joined the Army and kept jumping-out of airplanes for the 509th Airborne Regiment and over hurdles for a track club in Mainz, Germany, where he was stationed. While still in the service, he qualified for the 1964 U.S. Olympic team but failed to make the finals in Tokyo because of a pulled thigh muscle. Last year, he again made the Olympic team and again was troubled by injuries...

"If you can destroy the people who are preparing the battlefield, then the guys on the border can't get there," explained a U.S. general. Thus, last week three regiments of the 1st Marine Division ended a three-week cordon operation in Quang Nam province south of Danang that stripped the area as a staging ground. They moved all 2,650 civilians out of the village of Thanh Phong, then encircled and hunted down infiltrators from a regiment of North...
Tactical or Political? Another area of concern is the region around Danang, the country's second-largest city and the hub of I Corps. Three times in six days last week, Communist gunners raked allied base complexes in Danang with rocket and mortar fire. The South Vietnamese 51st Regiment tangled with a North Vietnamese unit twelve miles south of the city and reported killing 253. In Danang itself, a rash of terrorist grenadings resulted in a one-day, 24-hour curfew. Yet the remainder of I Corps, not long ago the main theater of fighting, appears unaffected. Allied intelligence...
