...year ago. U.S. dead in Viet Nam now number 32,376, and the total is fast approaching the Korean War figure of 33,629. With round after round of Soviet-made 122-mm. rockets crashing into cities and killing Vietnamese civilians, the Communists appeared to be violating the tacit understanding that Lyndon Johnson thought he had with Hanoi when he ordered the bombing halt: in return, the Communists would withdraw troops from the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Viet Nam, begin serious negotiations in Paris -and end the shelling of major population centers...
...film had discarded their old tunes. Memory went back only as far as the beginning of this film. Maybe that's why there was so little talk when they were together. Just shoulders shrugged in common, and sympathetic rubbings of exhaustion. Towards the end of the film, however, this tacit solidarity had grown so strong that members of the local production crews--if they boldly sought to disrupt the way of life of the permanent crew--just saliently, swiftly, disappeared...

Surprisingly, except for an unsuccessful phone call interceding on behalf of the Winthrop-Currier coed plan, Mrs. Bunting has had no known direct communication with the Harvard administration on coed housing. Radcliffe has apparently accepted at face value President Pusey's insistence on Faculty authority before coed housing is possible. Hence, the back-of-the-mind idea that merger would some day come has given way to a good chance...
