...abet peace talks nor the possibility that the Communist forces were so shattered by their recent losses that they could not fight at all. Instead, there was every indication that the Communists were simply hiding out while they got resupplied for fresh offensives. Down the Ho Chi Minh Trail poured a steady stream of North Vietnamese trucks, headlights brazenly ablaze in the night. The infiltration of men from the North is running far above the usual estimates of 6,000 to 6,500 a month-perhaps as much as twice that number. From February to mid-April, U.S. intelligence believes...
...United States, whatever concessions it makes to South Vietnam's Communists, is likely to insist on the military inviolability of frontiers throught-out Southeast Asia. Washington knows that the 1962 Laos agreement has been severely undermined by Hanoi's infiltration of troops and material along the Ho Chi Minh trail. More important, the State Department will probably feel compelled to vindicate the principle the President invoked in 1965 when he first sharply escalated the U.S. commitment in Vietnam.

He has incorrectly blamed the South Vietnamese government for developing the Khe Sanh bastion and has refused to acknowledge that South Vietnamese troops are fighting there...
...weeks, newsmen had been hearing rumors that Nelson Rockefeller's second marriage was on the skids and that he had a new romantic interest. Rumors of that sort trail almost any well-known politician, but this one seemed particularly persistent, perhaps because of the recollection of the Governor's rather abrupt divorce, and remarriage in 1963. The item appeared in print in a few places, but without Rockefeller's name. Then last week, with Rocky out of the race, Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson added the name...
