Haynsworth may not find bipartisan support quite as forthcoming as he tries to reply to a second allegation. The Judiciary Committee has learned that the judge, who sat on a 1967 case involving the Brunswick Corp., bought stock now valued at $18,000 between the time of the argument and the release of the decision in favor of the company. His friends see nothing wrong with his purchase and point out that he was only one of 48 who bought Brunswick shares from the same broker at the time.

...matter of paramount importance. The very survival of the South as a separate entity may be at stake. Also at stake is the entire American strategy for withdrawal. The hopeful Pentagon scenario calls for gradual replacement of U.S. forces by South Vietnamese, until only U.S. air, artillery and logistic support need remain.

The South Vietnamese have also begun conducting night patrols more aggressively. In one respect, at least, the ARVN can tutor the G.I.s. "They think more like the Viet Cong than we do," said Major Kenneth Sweeney. "They're better...
...outcome may well depend on just how many support troops the U.S. can maintain in South Viet Nam and for how long. Will U.S. public opinion stand for this support indefinitely? And how would such a U.S. presence in the South affect the chances of making a deal with Hanoi...
