Major U S strikes prep for North Viet Nam raids
United States marshaled its largest air strike force in over three years to back massive raids across the DMZ as North Vietnamese ground attacks slow. Bombers and destroyers hit a column of about 50 tanks while forecasters warned skies would stay clouded into Tuesday or Wednesday.

In Buenos Aires authorities say Oberdan Sallustro kidnappers were captured but the executive remains missing. Police continue the search for the 26-year-old Kiat Argentina general manager.
