Beating the Bushes. From the lush, Mekong Delta to the sterile Demilitarized Zone, the U.S. is hard-pressed to root out the enemy. In fact, the allies have managed to take the offensive in only one region-the 10,000-sq.-mi. Ill Corps area that arches around Saigon. In the war's largest operation, a three-week-old campaign called Resolved to Win, 50,000 U.S. and South Vietnamese troops are beating the bushes. Last week they stirred a series of sharp firefights; 527 Communists were killed, raising the sweep's total to some 2,400. Though...
Large Hatred. It is Cleaver's thesis-as it is James Baldwin's, among others-that the root cause of racial prejudice in America is sexual. He argues that as a result of the Negro's years of servility, the black male has been systematically robbed of his masculinity. Thus "castrated," the Negro also has been denied his development as a positive intellectual and social force. There is nothing really very new in Cleaver's analysis or black militant ideology. There is the familiar castigating of white liberals, the spewing forth of raw and undigested hate...
...cover story, November 23, 1931 Time recognized him as a sports figure of national prominence. "Although a mediocre runner and at times an uninspired field general," Time said, Wood has managed to win the hearts of the most ardent South Boston Harvard-haters. Even "the Boston and Cambridge policemen root for him," the Yale-biased magazine said...
Last week Cox delivered the first comprehensive statement of his new perspective in a three-part lecture series at Harvard on "The Secular Search for Religious Experience." In his first two talks, he dwelled on what he called the root problem of contemporary religion-the "immolation of history," or the tendency of modern man to rebel against his past. The rejection of history, Cox argued, not only throws out the good of tradition with the bad, but "can result in a corrosive contempt for the present." In his third lecture, entitled "Christ the Harlequin"-appropriately accompanied by psychedelic strobe lighting...
Grim Search. The Americans, much less the Saigonese, can hardly be blamed for some nervousness. The battalions of U.S. troops that were brought into Saigon to root out the V.C. gunmen have mostly been withdrawn, but platoons of South Vietnamese airborne troopers last week continued a grim house-to-house clearing operation in Saigon's environs. Hard-core V.C. snipers continued to fire on U.S. military police and Vietnamese army patrols from rooftops and windows in Cholon. The government makes its presence felt all over Saigon. Police or soldiers guard almost every corner, have set up checkpoints throughout...
