...Tuesday's Declaration of Honolulu states: "We must defeat the Viet Cong and those illegally fighting with them on our soil." On Monday, President Johnson said that "strength is the only language that the Communists understand," and that "it is vitally important to every American family that we stop the Communists in South Vietnam...
...even Baldwin's estimate of a million troops does not account for the probability of counter-escalation by the Communists. In the past six months, they have matched escalation with escalation and there is little reason to think they will stop now. For Ho Chi Minh, the battle in the South represents only the latest phase of a twenty-year struggle for national independence. Should the U.S. decide to double or triple its commitment of troops, Hanoi would very likely send considerably larger detachments of its 450,000-man army into the South rather than accept defeat...
...been done on an honor system, backed up by threats of water meters and stopgap measures like the rationing of water for air-conditioning units.

They cause long-distance communications blackouts and set off vivid displays of northern lights, but they do no harm to humans. The moon, however, has no atmosphere or magnetic field to stop the particles; they reach its surface at velocities great enough for -the heavier protons to penetrate space suits and the thin walls of a Lunar Excursion Module (LEM). Caught on the surface of the moon, astronauts might receive a fatal dose of proton radiation before they could return to their...
