...ARVN armor on Route 9 was to have thrust 25 miles to Tchepone, where main branches of the Ho Chi Minh Trail meet before snaking off into South Viet Nam and Cambodia...
TROUBLED by the slow pace of ARVN's thrust into Laos, South Viet Nam's President Nguyen Van Thieu made a painful decision early last week. He would have to put a new man in charge.

Grown to wild manhood, he is thrust out of the ancestral digs, Wuthering Heights, by its owner Hindley. Cathy is pledged to another; Heathcliff goes abroad and returns a sudden gentleman of fortune. At the gaming table he wins most of the estate from the ruined Hindley, but too late. Cathy, doomed to die in childbirth, curses...
