Mining in South Vietnam Faces New Questions on North Viet Nam Role
RAY CROMLEY reports on a 1965 67 chronology of 33 mine incidents along the Long Tau River in South Vietnam. He notes sporadic activity by Viet Cong and North Vietnamese, with several ships mined and a U.S. minesweeper sunk, then asks why mining waned and whether Moscow or Beijing supplied more capable devices, altering the conflict’s balance. The piece surveys how aerial mining by the U S contrasted with limited sea mining in the South.

The Cost at Home Tracks 1972 Budget Debate
Bruce Biassot argues that the real burden lies on the home front not Vietnam. Brookings' budget study shows civilian programs rising from 47 to 66 percent of federal spending over a decade and social outlays climbing from 28.4 to 74.9 billion. The peace dividend is small, with only modest future savings. Contenders promise costly reforms but offer little on funding.
