There, in The Coachman's Inn, the two Cabinet members spent a precious two hours and ten minutes with Representative Wilbur Mills in yet another effort to enlist his support for the President's tax bill. Mills, characteristically, was unimpressed...

But U.S. units numbering 40,000 men support the Marines within reinforcing range, with all the massed artillery and air power that Westmoreland and the Joint Chiefs of Staff believe are needed to defend the Marines. In the past ten days alone, B-52s have averaged four strikes daily on the Red-held hills around Khe Sanh...
