These reprehensible tactics might be draft card burnings and irresponsible demonstrations, Beer said last night. He cited a demonstration that occurred on Oct. 16 staged by the New York Vietnam Day Committee as such a tactic. At that time demonstrators displayed North Vietnamese flags and signs calling president Johnson a murderer...
...scarcely matters how closely Dyne sticks to the historical record, since he remains resolutely distant from life. His stage tactic is to open his characters' mail in public, as it were, but never to disclose their hearts, minds and motives. Acting with urbane finesse, the cast can probe no deeper than its period costumes. The players enunciate all too perfectly some of the woolliest period dialogue of recent seasons. Item: "God, how can I silence this monstrous woman?" Item: "But you betrayed something in me, [soulful pause] deep, deep in me." Double item: Husband-"Have you defiled...
Ayub gave the hawks their chance in 1962 when he permitted the first genial gestures to Red China as a tactic intended to alarm Washington and halt the big U.S. military aid program for India that began during the trouble on India's Himalayan border.

Almost minute by minute he received progress reports from his aides...

In the past three months, there has been a sharp decline in the number of attacks on government outposts, compared with the same period in 1963 and 1964. But the fewer thrusts have been conducted by bigger Red forces, aimed at specific targets, and have proved far more effective. The tactic is built around ambush: a small V.C. force hits an isolated government outpost; as government relief forces rush in by road or helicopter, a larger V.C. force mousetraps the rescuers...
