Vietnamese toll and Everest tragedy dominate week
South Vietnam reported 754 government casualties in a week, the highest since the Tet era, with U S losses at least 150. In Dak Sédng the nine day battle neared a crisis as B 52 bombers pounded gun positions. Elsewhere a school in Egypt was hit by Israeli jets killing 40 children and injuring 35. In Nepal six Sherpas and four Japanese expedition members died on Mt Everest. Northern Ireland faced a declared national emergency as sectarian violence worsened and calls for roundups of armed extremists rose.
