Holiday Christmas Truce Fails Amid Vietnam Hostilities
The Christmas weekend saw more than 530 people killed in U.S. traffic crashes and appeals for peace. U.S. bombing of North Vietnam resumed after a 36 hour cease fire, while South and North Vietnamese forces accused each other of violations. Northern Ireland reported a quiet weekend with three minor shootings. Global leaders and religious figures urged peace as Queen Elizabeth II and Pope Paul VI addressed the world. President Nixon and wife spent Christmas at Key Biscayne, Florida. Weather and quake relief efforts marked the holiday, and Bethlehem welcomed 15,000 pilgrims amid a subdued Berlin Christmas travel pattern.
