...Runcorn. In Skelm, Sir Hugh Wilson designed a compact, low-rise city resembling a collection of garden apartments. The city will culminate in a two-tier center, according to Wilson's plan. A resident can walk almost any place in town in ten minutes. But a two center specialist took this general conception and went wild. He thought up a town center--with shops, community halls, and recreational facilities--that has a roof hung on girders, like a suspension bridge. Since the walls do not hold up anything, they can be moved around. A pub can become...
Baird's credentials are impressive. Ten years ago, after four years of college and one of medical school, he joined a drug firm and became a consultant and specialist on contraceptive products. In 1964 he was hired by EMKO as a clinical director, which meant that he lectured to medical associations and hospital staffs on the use of the EMKO contraceptive for married couples...
...believe it is important to clarify two contentions which Professor Huntington makes about the prospects for a political victory in Vietnam, particularly since he is a specialist in political development.

But Professor Huntington does not say that this urbanization has taken place only because three million peasants have been driven off their land by intolerable bombing and shelling, or that this rapid urbanization has been sustained only because...

Why, then, do the Communists concentrate on Con Thien...
Their objective is political, says the specialist. It is to inflict "the maximum number of American casualties within the shortest time period. They are banking on the shock value to merge with uninformed opinion in the U.S. to put pressure on the Johnson Administration to get out of Viet Nam." In purely military terms, of course, Hanoi's objective is to pin down the greatest possible number of American troops in the defensive position most favorable to the North Vietnamese, thus markedly reducing U.S. pressure on the Communist forces operating in the rest of I Corps...
