Soviet Union ties Israel pullout to peace move at UN
At the United Nations General Assembly Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko urged treating the Israeli withdrawal from lands seized in the 1967 war as the first item for peace. He warned the Vietnam conflict could widen, and criticized U.S. statements as insincere while pushing a treaty banning nuclear use and a definition of aggression. He accused Washington of violating agreements and hampering peace efforts, while Goldberg urged talks toward a bombing pause.

War debate splits American opinion over Vietnam policy
The resignation of IVS officers in South Vietnam highlights a fundamental split in U.S. views on the Vietnam War. Supporters see civilian suffering and chaos, while the administration argues the conflict is necessary to prevent wider harm. Polls show a broad middle ground seeking clear evidence from leaders ahead of the 1968 election. The piece also notes the Beulah hurricane impact across Texas and Mexico, with extensive flooding, deaths, and relief efforts.
