Secret War Alleged Between U S and China in Vietnam
Former State Department official Allen S. Whiting says the United States and China fought a covert clash in Vietnam from 1964 to 1967, with both sides near a point of no return.

A separate note reports Hanford officials prep for waterfowl botulism outbreak response after a 1967-68 Kern River delta die off.
