...LAST REFLECTIONS ON A WAR by Bernard Fall (Doubleday, $4.95), is a reminder of the business he left unfinished when a hidden Viet Cong mine killed Fall at 40 last February near the Demilitarized Zone. Beginning in 1952, Fall had dedicated 15 years to single-minded study of Viet Nam's bloody travail, had become a world authority on the baffling complexities of Communist-style guerrilla warfare.

Harvard's defense stymied three Dartmouth scoring threats in the first half. Cornerback Ken Thomas, who ran back an interception 91 yards for a touchdown for the varsity against Columbia, picked off a pass in the Dartmouth end zone to stop a first-quarter Indian drive. Twice more, the Indians were stopped deep in Crimson territory, once forced to settle for a field-goal attempt which failed, and the other time to give up the ball to Harvard...
