...boards than in his rookie year, Alcindor is averaging 16 rebounds a game and scoring at a 32-point pace with his derricklike hook shots and whirling dunks. Snared from Cincinnati in a masterful trading coup, Robertson is playing as well as he ever has in his ten-year N.B.A. career. Remarkably unselfish for a superstar, he has sacrificed a bit of his scoring average (19.7 per game) to help set big Lew up for the close-in shot.

...time is ripe for another escalation of the war, not only because the American people have shown they will stand for it, but also because the military is becoming increasingly hard-pressed to draw its ten-year armed extravaganza to a successful conclusion. The U. S. has gained the upper hand in South Vietnam, but insurgent forces in Laos and Cambodia are still holding major areas of these countries and are seriously threatening to topple pro-American governments there. Extensive U. S. bombing has done its share of murder and other physical damage, but has not diminished the insurgents' strength...
