...Viet Nam, a legitimate?though dependent?government in Saigon requested U.S. assistance and continues to do so. The U.S. originally entered on a very small scale and only after fighting had already started. South Viet Nam was under very real attack from within and without. These circum stances hardly duplicate those in Czechoslovakia, quite apart from the fact that U.S. and Russian aims in the world are fundamentally and philosophically different. To establish a real parallel with Soviet behavior, one would have to imagine France's being taken over through a Communist coup and renouncing all its military and economic...
...giants can continue to reach specific accommodations, it will not prove that either is turning soft. Each respects the other's power. Each knows the price and the risks of an endless arms race and repeated confrontations. Thus each concedes to the other, however bitterly, a degree of latitude within its own sphere. The system is not ideal, and it is certainly not moral, but it has one unassailable virtue: so far, it has worked. Also, it can buy time for men like Alexander Dubcek, and others inside and outside the Communist domain, to continue striving, in some form...

Within minutes, an Aerobee rocket soared from its launch pad, carrying with it the largest X-ray telescope ever sent into space...
...last week 30% of Campbell's New Jersey tomatoes had spoiled in the field, and many were being plowed under. The company estimated that the ruin could reach 80% within the next two weeks. Campbell's 250 contract farmers in southern New Jersey, a group of whom has sued two unions for damage because of the strike, grow nearly 40% of the area's 21,000-acre crop. In California, where rotting tomatoes could result in a loss of well over $4,000,000 if the strike persists, farmers called on President Johnson to invoke the Taft...
