Congress backs Vietnam aid with overwhelming votes
The House approved 392 to 4 and the Senate 92 to 5 a $4.8 billion Viet Nam aid bill as President Johnson sought stronger U.S. commitment. Senator Gaylord Nelson, among other skeptics, joined the majority on the Tonkin rider repeal but pledged continued discussion of objectives while insisting on better equipment for troops. The main concern cited is not escalation but limiting U.S. leverage and saving lives through a quicker, more effective use of superiority.

Bridge challenge yields unlikely three no trump finish
A described bridge problem swaps hearts between East and South from yesterday. South wins the third spade lead and, with a club to dummy’s jack, leads dummy’s ten of hearts and forces East to cover. South then takes two more clubs, engages a heart sequence, and with West unable to discard a spade or diamond, reaches four no trump, culminating with South’s seven of hearts for the final ninth trick.
