...Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Viet Nams. The "Inchon Thing," as Pentagon planners call it-referring to Douglas MacArthur's end run into enemy territory during the Korean War -would carry the ground war to North Vietnamese soil for the first time. The purpose would be to seal off the DMZ as an operational base for North Vietnamese regular forces above the 17th Parallel and to crimp the southward flow of Communist troops. The major drawback of any such offensive is that it would still leave unplugged the Communists' infiltration routes through Laos and Cambodia...
...only coal wharf in the world with a Grace Hartigan painting hanging inside the bunker house-along with canvases by Mark Rothko and Jack Youngerman and a Calder mobile. Used by its owner, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller, 59, as a private gallery during his vacations in Seal Harbor, Me., the old wharf has been thrown open to the public at $5 a head, proceeds to go to Maine's Republican Party.

...interesting to note that Jordan and South Vietnam are the only two countries to which the U.S. gives direct budget aid; while pushing through Jordan, Israelis found stock piles of recoiling rifle ammunition given to the Jordanians under the Point-Four program and still bearing the "hands-clasped seal" of the U.S. It must also e remembered, however, that in Sinai the Israelis ran up against Russian tanks which are so modern that they haven't even been introduced into the Russian Army, as well as at least nine Russian Surface to Air missiles...
