Pentagon analysts, who color the inviolate area red on their war maps, have pinpointed some 30 prime targets within the envelope, an enclave anchored by the Red River town of Yen Bai in the northwest, crucial harbor ports of Haiphong and Cam Pha in the northeast and Thanh Hoa at the southern apex. Around Hanoi are a thermal power plant, an engineering facility, key bridges and the Phuc Yen airfield, where Chinese-supplied MIG-17s are based. In addition to its vast port, Haiphong's potential targets include two power plants, two cement factories, two airfields and three storage...
...explains that "this is not a pro Viet Nam policy project, it's pro American boys." At Stanford 380 students volunteered to give blood for military and civilian casualties in South Viet Nam; Ohio State held a similar "bleed-in." Michigan State students "adopted" the village of Lang Yen, 60 miles north of Saigon, and so far have sent $740 to help build a school and a marketplace. Two groups have sprung up at Williams to ridicule the Vietnik demonstrators. One, called Gurgle, plans a ten-mile drive between two taverns "to protest nothing." An other, the Student Committee...

Beside him was his adviser, U.S. Marine Major William Leftwich, 34, whom one of his superiors has called "the best American adviser in the country." They set out early in the dazzling...
...midday the heat had Yen's men gasping. Some were vomiting. Then the V.C. sprang their ambush. Two marines were killed instantly, and five were wounded. "Get up, you bastards," snarled Yen. "It's only a few snipers-get up and move after them." The marines went, and Bill Leftwich, one of the 6,500 U.S. advisers who sometimes feel that they are the "forgotten men" in the new war, went too. The brittle Yen had run through five U.S. advisers until Leftwich came along. By quiet persuasion, Leftwich got Yen to add an engineering platoon...
