A Taipei report says Chiang Kai-shek now sees mainland invasion as militarily impossible. The atomic capability of the Communists removes any plausible motive for a Taiwan assault, ending prior adviser's push to strike before atomic power consolidation.
The piece argues the United States serves as backstop to Chiang Kai-shek’s regime and as protector against a mainland invasion. It warns that anti Americanism in China stems from U S backing and notes ongoing U S China tensions. Chiang’s disavowal of invasion eases some strain but distrust remains long term.
A critique of campaign spending laws centered on Representative-elect Ottinger who used 34 committees funded largely by family to bypass $3,000 contribution limits. The piece notes that wealthy candidates often outspend rivals, cites Kennedy as precedent, and urges comprehensive reform, stricter ceilings, and robust enforcement.
The Education and World Affairs report cites flagrant abuses in U S college admissions of foreign students. Diploma mills exploit them and some institutions enroll them for expediency rather than merit, harming learning and international understanding.
Edward R. Murrow highlights Dean Achesons Amherst College address urging caution against deriving policy from pure ethics alone. The piece argues four government levels, ending with the need for national security over abstract morality when confronting hostile systems.
John L. Fisher of Williamstown Massachusetts urges the Banner readers to end American military involvement in Viet Nam. He argues the South Viet Nam government is undemocratic and calls for withdrawal and UN negotiations to let the Vietnamese people determine their future.
Washington faces a similar Vietnam crisis as in 1953 with stretched French and North Vietnamese reserves. North Vietnamese draftees appear southward on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, raising the risk of provincial collapses like Quang Nai and Darlac. The piece warns the United States must commit full power to avert a major defeat.
A Marine Corps colonel is shot dead in Virginia by an unknown assailant. The piece argues for licenses and periodic mental and medical screenings for gun owners, comparing to automatic license checks for drivers and asserting states may regulate firearms to protect public safety. It questions why Kennedy's assassination prompted no extra gun controls and cites constitutional interpretations of gun rights.
Easterner admires a cowboy rolling a cigarette with one hand. The exchange centers on getting the filter in, highlighting frontier humor. A boy posing a math riddle asks how old a father and dog would be if both were humans, reflecting playful schoolbook style.
