...NIXON Administration has repeatedly sought to identify the entire movement with its most extreme elements-"the violent people," President Nixon called them on Monday. The indictments against Philip Berrigan and five others for conspiring to kidnap Henry Kissinger and to purchase and transport explosives over state lines for the purpose of blowing up heating tunnels in the capital fall into this pattern quite neatly. This does not seem like the behavior one would expect from priests and nuns whose dedication to non-violence is well-known. But the record shows that the government will try anything it thinks...
Officially, the Grand Jury in Tucson is investigating possible violations-by three "SDS-Weathermen"-of the antiriot act and of federal law pertaining to the purchase and interstate transport of explosives. It has already indicted one of the three, John Fuerst, for illegally purchasing 120 sticks of dynamite in Tucson last May and transporting them to California...

The South Vietnamese have yet to cut any of the large, all-weather routes that run farther to the west; sidestepping the invasion, Communist traffic has largely moved to these roads.

As the Army realized the necessity for rapid mobility in a guerrilla war, commanders began urging Washington to free them from what they called "the tyranny of the terrain." There are now 3,500 helicopters, worth nearly $1 billion, in Viet Nam. With the arrival of the high-speed, heavily armed Cobra in 1967, the ships became flying combat-assault platforms for entire brigades in mass lift operations. More than any other weapon, they enabled the U.S. to fight the guerrillas' kind...
