B52s Help Viet Fighters in Latest South Vietnam Raids
U S and South Vietnamese forces sent heavy air and ground strikes in response to a fresh surge of North Vietnamese attacks across South Vietnam. Reports described 88 enemy assaults in 24 hours, with major fighting near Duy Xuyên and Dong Hoi, while U S B52s dropped thousands of tons on targets in North and South Vietnam. Casualties and damage were tallied as U S and Vietnamese troops tried to blunt the renewed onslaught and deter a broader political campaign by Hanoi, with ongoing withdrawals and strategic repositioning around Da Nang and Marble Mountain.

Harriman and Vance See Missed Peace Chance in Vietnam
Harriman and Vance, longtime Democrats, issued a joint Paris statement from Harriman’s home asserting that the Nixon administration failed to pursue a negotiated peace in Vietnam.
