...Prince Vajiralongkorn was being invested at Parliament House as heir to the throne of Thailand, and most foreign diplomats, including Israeli Ambassador Rehavam Amir, were among those attending the ceremony.

Under the new plan, Marines equipped with borrowed helicopters will try to move fast...

It was launched from Landing Zone Stud in the Khe Sui Soi river valley eleven miles northeast of Khe Sanh; its first task was to open Route 9, which had been in enemy hands since last August.
