That specific was deleted from the final speech on the ground that Washington should retain some flexibility; thus many listeners inferred that the bombing would continue only in the area immediately north of the Demilitarized Zone. The day after the speech, U.S. bombers ranged more than 200 miles into North Viet Nam to raid a radar site in the Thanh Hoa area, just below the 20th.

He discovered that along the circle formed where the plane intersected the surface of the earth there were other earthquake and major fault zones-in the Pyrenees Mountains, the Red Sea and the western tip of South America. During the next three weeks, Rouse projected the planes of other earthquake zones to form 15 additional circles, or belts, on the earth's surface...
