Fantasy & Propaganda. During last week's sessions, Hanoi's chief delegate, Xuan Thuy once again rejected as "absurd" the U.S. demand for a reciprocal move in the wake of Washington's limited bombing pause, and he refused to broaden the discussions until the air raids end. If the U.S. insists on reciprocity, he suggested sarcastically, the North Vietnamese might reply by issuing a statement that Hanoi "commits itself from now on, as in the past, to refrain from bombing and all other acts of war on the entire territory of the U.S." Thuy inched a little closer...
...only eight men at a time from subs in 850 ft. of water or less. Devised in the 1920s, it was last used in an actual undersea rescue when Squalus went down off Portsmouth, N.H., in 1939.* Development of a "Deep-Submergence Rescue Vehicle," begun in 1965 in the wake of the Thresher tragedy two years earlier, has been delayed until late 1970 by technical and budgetary problems.

Ever since Tet, Saigon has rumbled with rumors that Thieu was going to replace Loc, who had proved a less-than-efficient administrator in the wake of Communist offensive. "He turned out to be a turtle," even Ky admitted, "a poor upside-down turtle." Last week Thieu fired not only Loc but his entire Cabinet...
That tolerance was not always so evident among the marchers. "By the time we're through in B.C.," cried March Coordinator Hosea Williams, "white folks gonna say, 'Where's Dr. King? Wake up, Dr. King!' These white folks killed the dreamer, but we're gonna show these white folks what become of the dream. The poor people are marching to challenge the Pharaoh." Led by Williams and the Rev. Ralph David Abernathy, 42, successor to Martin Luther King, the poverty pilgrims wound through back-country roads in buses, battered cars and behind farm wagons drawn...
