...killed a total of nearly 200 civilians in purely election-oriented acts of intimidation. In the hamlet of Suoi Chan, only 40 miles east of Saigon, the Viet Cong slaughtered at least 18 civilians, three of them girls working for the Revolutionary Development pacification program that has been the target of much Viet Cong violence in the past month. The girls, none of them older than 18, were trussed up with their hands behind their backs and shot through the head. Other victims were burned, and the hamlet was later set on fire...
...suburban home at Kastri, a political foe of Kanellopoulos, former Premier George Papandreou, was dragged out of bed and marched off without even being given time to put on his shoes; he had to carry them along. His leftist son Andreas, sleeping some miles away, was a particular target of the military; they sent eight soldiers and a captain to fetch him. They overpowered his bodyguard, smashed a glass door while breaking into the house and dragged Andreas off in his underpants, his feet bleeding from the glass...
...major target of the criticism is Queen Mother Frederika, who is blamed by the leftists?and by many others?for practically any action of the King's that they do not like.

...withdrawal or substantial concessions by the North can open up the possibility of an American victory in the South and it is pressing this view through greater escalation including, we are convinced, sending ground forces into the North. New means of bringing pressure include the continued expansion of bombing target (although there are fewer and fewer of these left), and bombardment from the fleet of the Northern coast and artillery based at the edge of the DMZ. We can only guess what is to follow, although North Vietnamese attacks against the artillery positions suggest that a "counter-attack" may come...
...merino-joke re-runs, they have disappeared to make room for almost entirely new copy. Not only that, but in the "games" theme the Lampoon has found a big, bright, hard-to-miss bullseye. With a theme, and a fairly simple one, to focus on, the Poonies are on target more often than usual. Most of the six or seven games they have invented are mildly funny-sometimes very mildly-but at least the average is better than usual...
