Reshape the Center by Binding White Voters to Help Negroes
Joseph Kraft argues the central issue is a split in the lower middle class white electorate from upper middle class leaders. He contends the humane center has shifted right, tests presidential candidates on rebuilding a humane majority, and stresses emotional access to low income whites over other claims. He notes past policy shifts under Kennedy Johnson and the Vietnam era protests fueling discontent with elite manipulation.

Vietnam War in Delta Stays Brutal Yet Brighter For US
S. L. A. Marshall reports from South Vietnam where Gen Westmoreland’s era continues as Emerson’s 9th Division fights on Highway No. 4 60 miles from Saigon. The Viet Cong and NVA pressure persists with craters and ambushes yet villagers increasingly cooperate. Emerson’s unit notes slow prisoner intake but gains in leaflets and a Chieu Hoi reader network. The delta terrain and dense bunkers complicate operations while VC recruiting ages range into teens and late 40s.
