...forced to participate intensely, not vicariously, in the public phenomenon of impersonal terror; and allowed to share in the private world of personal fantasy--where a childhood symbol such as Perry Smith's avenging parrot "flying overhead, red and green/green and tangerine" becomes a vision that enobles a headline terrorist...
...Kill at the Waist. At the beginning of 1965, the view from Hanoi's windows must have been rosy indeed. From a force of fewer than 20,000 at the end of 1961, the Viet Cong had grown to a lethally effective terrorist army of 165,000 whose supplies, orders and reinforcements flowed freely from the North. Viet Minh regulars were infiltrating at the rate of a regiment every two months. From the tip of Ca Mau Peninsula to the 17th parallel, huge swaths of the South lay under Communist sway, and with good reason: in that year...
Saigon thinks the enemy may well try to pair its new terrorist campaign with an offensive in the field. Most likely spot: the Kontum-Pleiku region in the western highlands, where the Ho Chi Minh trail feeds men and supplies from Laos into South Viet Nam. The Communists have been notably quiet there since the bloody battles in the la Drang valley last month.

In the past five years, an estimated 500 Venezuelans have gone through Cuban terrorist schools and returned home to kill cops, rob banks, blow up pipelines and make sporadic attacks on backland towns. The guerrillas now have about 600 men under arms. So far they have failed to win much support from Venezuela's peasants, who form the backbone of President Leoni's reform-minded Ace ion Democrdtica party. Yet some 5,000 government troops have rarely been...
