...fortified village of Vinh Hoa was captured four times by U.S. troops last week without the loss of a single life. The Army, in fact, expects Vinh Hoa to save G.I. lives in combat, for the village, an exact replica of a typical Viet Cong settlement deep in the piney woods of eastern Georgia, is part of a new, expanded training program for Viet Nam-bound infantry troops...
...Anyway, the thieves who broke into her $1,500,000 mansion near Cuernavaca, Mexico, took only $20,240-and most of that was in traveler's checks.

After U.S. Thunderchiefs and Skyraiders cut the bridges at Thanhhoa, above Vinh and at Dong Phuong Thuong (see map), roving jets prowled highways and rail lines, shooting up trucks and destroying the North Vietnamese's scanty rolling stock. Though the Communists could still cross their unbridged rivers by arranging makeshift spans of wicker boats at night, they were being forced more and more to avoid the roads...
