Bigger Role for S. Viets Clifford
In the next months U S forces in the war zone will reach 459000 men as South Vietnamese gains grow and enemy losses mount. Clifford says peace is possible but if Hanoi chooses fighting over talks military victory in South Vietnam is within reach. By July all South Vietnamese ground units will have rapid firing M16 rifles built by Call's Industries and new contractors. He frames U S presence as NATO style aid, not occupation, aiding locals to secure their own defense.

Court Backed Laws Banning Pornography for Minors
The Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 that states may ban sale of magazines and similar material depicting nudity or sexual content to those under 17, upholding New York 1965 statute and signaling broader state restrictions while preserving adults’ First Amendment rights. The decision also struck down a Dallas ordinance banning youth access to films deemed unsuitable, citing vagueness and potential industry intimidation. Justice Brennan led the majority. Black Douglas dissented along with FartaS.
