...declared by Congress; the state now seeks a declaration from the court that U.S. participation in the Viet Nam War is unconstitutional. If the court accepts the case, warned Justice Department attorneys last week, the Justices might conceivably be forced to set up their own military-affairs office, supervising troop withdrawals and dealing diplomatically with North Viet Nam. The court may well avoid the politically charged Massachusetts case. But clearly the Justices will be kept busy without it. Mr. Justice Blackmun, no doubt, would concur in that opinion...
...fighting, this at a time when Washington was refusing to negotiate. But, if his capacity as a prophet is unstable, his capacity as a reporter is unchallenged. Through it all, he documents the political maneuverings of the South Vietnamese generals, their struggles for power, the way the American troop buildup despoils the country, the economy, the people. At times, he seems to forget that there is a war going on at all, so deeply is he involved in watching the political maneuvering. All of his dispatches come from Saigon, away from the fighting, with the exception of two from...

It's movements, Allegro non troop, Molto adagio, and adagio assai. are quite transparent, the first a rough sonata form, the second consisting of three figures, the first identical to the last, and the third a rondo. The amazing virtuosity of the violin sections was made abundantly clear in this work, especially in the third movement...
...part of the reduction will be made in overseas garrisons-and not just those in Viet Nam. Thus the Pentagon announced last month that the 62,000-man American force in South Korea would be cut by nearly one-third. Last week plans were announced to reduce the U.S. troop level in the Philippines from 24,000 to about 18,400 possibly by next July...
