Saigon's civilian dead numbered only a few hundred, less than one-twentieth of those at Tet. And by week's end an estimated 2,500 Communists had died...
...furor began when Enoch Powell, 55, a right-wing Tory M.P. from the industrial Midlands, launched an attack on an antidiscrimination bill introduced by the Labor government to protect Britain's 1,000,000 coloreds-a term that covers shades from light tan to dark black and encompasses Indians and Pakistanis as well as African and West Indian Negroes. Powell, a onetime teacher of Greek and a classics scholar, has a record for independence and strong-mindedness. Having decided in 1963 to try for the Tories' top job, he refused to serve in Alec Douglas-Home...
