Thieu Uses Psychological War Tactics in Vietnam
Saigon observers say President Thieu backs a psychological campaign against North Vietnam to provoke confusion, with Hanoi likely responding to his threats. Analysts note U S officials publicly distance from the plan while privately enjoying the pressure on Hanoi as Nixon denies any invasion plan. Thieu also inflates his government’s claimed control to preempt any negotiated settlement and assert Saigon's position before talks.

Freeloading as a Way of Life in New York
In lower Manhattan a young unmarried couple lives on welfare unemployment and parents’ money while dodging rent and utilities. They shoplift, misuse public services, and plan to crash weddings and events for free meals as they drift through a day of petty theft and evasion.
