Guerrilla at the Point. As a result, peace talks or not, General Abrams is certain to encounter considerably more heavy fighting in the South when he takes over from Westmoreland. Fortunately for the U.S., intensive fighting is an art at which Abrams has long demonstrated both instinctive mastery and uncommon zeal. Born in Feeding Hills, Mass., the son of a repairman on the Boston & Albany railroad, Creighton Abrams grew up learning to drill tin cans with a rifle, raising baby beef as a 4-H farm boy, and driving around in his Model T. In high school he was both...
...LEADERSHIP. ARVN officers traditionally represent the cream of Vietnamese society, a social caste preserved by stiff educational requirements for officer candidates.

This last aspect is one reason that photographed pot parties often look furtive and clandestine. "The first time I ever smoked pot, I got upset, frightened and sick," says a mid-thirtyish Chicago housewife...
