...quiet. Thich Tam Chau, spokesman of the Buddhist hierarchy's moderate wing, publicly broke with Tri Quang and the militants. Tri Quang, said Tam Chau, has "no authority to promulgate any decisions" of the hierarchy, adding, "I am not for bringing Buddha into the streets." And in a swift, virtually bloodless move in Hue, 3,000 of Ky's troops took over the northern city, which the Buddhists and rebel Vietnamese soldiers have controlled for nearly four months...
...With unusual asperity, Dirksen faulted Johnson for failing to be "candid or consistently credible" on Viet Nam. What is needed, he said, is a bipartisan committee to examine U.S. policy so that Republicans "will be better able to provide that unqualified support so necessary to the winning of a swift, secure and honorable peace."

Thanks to swift helicopter evacuation, less than 1% of the U.S.'s wounded in Viet Nam die, as against 10% in the infancy of copter medical aid in Korea.

Gerber's five original varieties have grown to 130, including cherry vanilla pudding and Dutch apple dessert; the company estimates that today's baby eats 15 jars a week, or almost double...
...teen-ager in Europe, he had shown himself mostly interested in le jazz hot, Hitchcock thrillers and swift sports cars-one of which he smashed up on a Swiss road, very nearly losing an eye. To this day he seldom appears in public without tinted glasses. He had been studying science; when he assumed the throne in 1946, he went back to Switzerland to finish his studies and switched to law. He first saw his beautiful second cousin Sirikit when she was only 14, at a reception in Paris, where her father was the Thai ambassador. When he returned...
