U S Diverts Air Strikes Below DMZ In Vietnam War Update
U S forces sharply curtailed air strikes against North Vietnam with many planes redirected to support South Vietnamese troops near Quang Tri below the demilitarized zone. Government marines faced heavy artillery, rocket, and mortar fire while airborne units met lighter opposition west of the provincial capital. North Vietnam accused the U S of carpet bombing population centers as Seventh Fleet warships joined operations around Quang Tri, with Newport News and other ships shelling likely bunker positions north of the city.

Doctors Miss Many Lung Blood Clots Say Scientist
An Atlanta scientist reported that physicians miss many acute pulmonary embolisms. Only 43 percent of patients showed all three key symptoms and 80 percent had shortness of breath, with chest discomfort and apprehension common but not universal. The study of 160 patients indicates doctors need to consider embolism in unexplained abrupt breath loss, especially after surgery or long bed rest.
