Other reports also suggested that key enemy units -including the elite 7th NVA Division and the 9th VC Division, which had taken part in every recent attack on the capital-were moving out of their sanctuaries and toward Saigon.

Youngstown hopes to reopen its schools early next year, when regular taxes again come due, but the board must try again at the polls for an increase that will allow them to stay open. Meanwhile, Youngstown's cantankerous voters inadvertently helped school systems elsewhere in Ohio. School supporters in Akron won a tax increase by waging a highly effective word-of-mouth campaign with the argument "Let's not become another Youngstown...
