...somewhere, and the place to get them is in their nests." Last week Operation Cedar Falls continued to scythe through the enemy's longtime nests in the Iron Triangle 20 miles north of Saigon-razing villages and transplanting their civilian populations, bulldozing and burning away houses, fruit trees, rubber plantations, rice granaries and tropical thicket. In its largest operation of the war, employing 16,000 infantrymen, the U.S. was selectively applying a new strategy: a purposeful policy of scorched earth, not only to chase the enemy from his nests but to make those nests permanently uninhabitable...
...soot from smokestacks, the main façade of Manhattan's New York Hilton was so badly discolored that it had to be replaced last year, only 31 years after the hotel was completed. Ozone, a principal component of photochemical smog, discolors and disintegrates clothing and causes rubber to become brittle and crack...
...year-old Commodity Exchange, which also trades in copper, tin, silver, lead, zinc, hides and rubber, hopes that quotations stretching up to 18 months in the future will help to level off mercury's price swings.

Then Newsman John Chancellor (now director of the Voice of America) took over in a 14-month interregnum that tautened the ship and sobered the crew...
...General Mills decided to open a plant in Lancaster, Ohio, the Governor characteristically called up the company, says Vice President William Haun, "and assured us the state would do anything it could to help us handle any problems." By lining up local financing, he got Akron-based Goodyear Tire & Rubber to put a new plant in Logan, Ohio, instead of in Michigan. Similarly, when Radio Corporation of America decided to close down its Cambridge, Ohio plant, Rhodes and his development team got an inkling of interest from Dayton-based National Cash Register. "Within hours," recalls the company's vice...
