...Longer a Contest. For the enemy, both elements of the Viet Nam war are coordinated and directed from Hanoi. And both have the same aim: the takeover of South Viet Nam and the reunification of the Vietnamese under Hanoi's Red rule. But the dual assault, with all its variations, has made the task of the U.S. and its allies doubly difficult?tough to assess and hard to explain. Victories over the North Vietnamese troops do not readily translate into visible progress in the guerrilla war. The bombing of North Viet Nam may slow the southward flow of arms...

If it does, warned Anguilla's new President, Ronald Webster, it will be a "direct challenge...
...seen by Massie, the Romanovs' 300 years' rule was doomed by the Czarevich's hemophilia: it put the imperial pair in the oily hands of Rasputin, whose prayers they believed would heal their more than fragile son Alexis. Rasputin not only destroyed the morale of the aristocracy, he also made it impossible for Nicholas to heed sensible advice until it was too late. And he fatally fractured the image of the Czar in the mind of the masses. The imperial pair saw a calumniated saint in Rasputin; the people, in the words of a monarchist member...
