...Polish-built trucks on Red in filtration routes and the steady thump of American bombs aimed at interdicting them. The lull was reflected in South Viet Nam by battle statistics: the Viet Cong and their North Vietnamese allies suffered only 456 dead in the previous week-the lowest toll since January 1965-and even when U.S. air cavalrymen surrounded three Red regiments near Bong Son last week, the bulk of the Communist force slipped furtively away. The enemy battalion that was finally trapped put up a good fight-but reluctantly (see following story). The Reds were saving their strength...
...marker will note. "The settlement of Dallas began in 1841 when John Neely Bryan's log cabin was built near by. The first legislature of the new state of Texas created Dallas County in 1846 with Dallas as the 'Seat of Justice.' In 1855 a toll bridge crossed the channel of the Trinity River at the west end of this plaza. Years later the river channel was moved one-half mile westward and confined between flood-control levees. Dallas was incorporated as a town...
...Lingus. The other side of the equation is that, as planes become safer, more people will become less fearful and will fly. Since 1962, the proportion of Americans who have been up in a plane has climbed from 33% to 38% . But as more people fly, the casualty toll will climb too-unless the one-in-a-million chance of accident can be cut still lower...
More Than One-Fifth. The growing pressure of U.S. units all over Viet Nam is taking a heavy toll. President Johnson pointed out last week that by actual body count, 10,000 of the enemy have been killed since the first of the year, and perhaps another 40,000 put out of action through wounds, capture or defection. Thus some 50,000 men, more than a fifth of the Communists' estimated forces in South Viet Nam, have been removed from the line within three months-a rate of loss that could well break the back of organized military resistance...
Miles & Minutes. The tragedies took the bloom off what otherwise would have been a glorious victory for Ford. One by one, the miles and minutes took their toll of Ford's main competitors: the two Chaparrals were both out of the race by the second hour, and the Ferrari 330 P3 retired to the pits on the 172nd lap with a frozen gearbox. Andretti's accident took care of the rest; he was running third behind two Fords at the time of the crash, and the Porsche was in fourth place. The finish was a parade-Ford, Ford...
