...that the U.S. had retaliated for a Viet Cong attack. However, the rest of the day the Voice of America appeared to be making excuses and apologies. Do we have to beg pardon every time we take action? Are the Viet Cong the enemy or not? Let's stop kidding ourselves, because we are not fooling anyone else...
...some 500 Young Republicans. Opening the four-day "leadership training" conference was outgoing Republican National Chairman Dean Burch, who advised the heavily pro-Goldwater audience: "Let's not be so enthralled with further fratricide that we can't elect men in 1966.

Our policy of containment, followed since World War II, intends to stop aggression whenever it occurs, even if it receives popular support as in Vietnam. Our experience shows that unchecked aggression, such as at Munich, leads ultimately to war. Furthermore, victory or defeat in Vietnam would have enormous propaganda value, for it will show to friend, foe and uncommitted alike our ability...
