...forces become obsolete quickly, and as a deterrent lack both credibility and utility. Therefore, they argue, these forces do not pay politically as the non-nuclear states believe. And even if a nation could begin to build a credible nuclear force, it would immediately be making itself a possible target of a preemptive attack...
...shelling of Saigon began at 4 a.m. One mortar round hit near the U.S. Embassy, another close to U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker's residence. Numerous shells landed in the Chinese section, Cholon. But the main enemy target was Newport, the U.S. dock facilities in the Saigon River, where Communist forces unsuccessfully attempted to follow up a mortar and rocket attack with an assault. Within two hours the city had largely become quiet again. The Communists also shelled, among other cities, Hué, Pleiku, Can Tho, Kontum, My Tho and Quang Tri. Four U.S. Marines were killed and six wounded...

His main target is the mechanization...

But it still retains ten all-Negro Methodist conferences in the South as separately administered units. The planners of the new church body have set 1972 as a target date for erasing the last vestiges of its segregated structure. But many Negro Methodists believe that the United Methodist Church should have excluded racial segregation at its very beginning, and a group of Negro demonstrators picketed the uniting conference to make their point...
