According to the broadcast, Westmoreland had engaged in "a conspiracy at the highest levels" of the military to "suppress and alter" intelligence data regarding enemy troop strength in the months before the January 1968 Tet offensive. Westmoreland, said CBS, omitted from the order of battle, the official estimate of enemy forces, some 100,000 self-defense, secret self-defense and political cadre. Westmoreland's suit challenges the CBS charge that hi doing so he deceived President Lyndon Johnson and the Joint Chiefs of Staff about the Westmoreland growing military threat facing U.S. servicemen...
...season's nine weeks wore on the Crimson, from goalkeeper Matt Ginsburg to center back Ian Hardington, who has been a tower of strength in the back four and has appeared on the scoring chart as well, and Captain Lane Kenworthy, a striker who is one of the team's scoring leaders, has steadily improved from a talented squad that outplayed its opponents but couldn't put the ball in the net into a highly talented squad that has outshot, out defended, outmaneuvered, and, most importantly,--outscored the opposition...

That same day, at his first Cabinet meeting, Gandhi disclosed that he would serve as his own Foreign Minister...
Dohnányi's strength lies in warm but unsentimentalized interpretations of an essentially Central European repertoire. His love of contemporary music is already clear in his Cleveland programming: on a U.S. tour last month, he offered a ravishing performance of Arnold Schoenberg's unfinished atonal oratorio, Die Jakobsleiter (Jacob's Ladder), and an impassioned reading of Alban Berg's twelve-tone Violin Concerto, with Soloist Itzhak Perlman. The most recent Severance Hall program featured the late-Romantic composer Hans Pfitzner's Violin Concerto, a work rarely heard outside Germany. Yet Dohnanyi is also strong...
