Let Us Drop Bomb Limits Rhetoric Divides Senate Action
A Senate Defense subcommittee report chaired by Sen. John Stennis finds tactical air operations in Vietnam costly for limited gains and urges reconsideration of bombing limits. Some senators like Sen. Edward Brooke defend current policy, while others push halting or testing peace talks. A Pentagon statement challenges the report but confirms Washington controls target selection. US pilots seek freedom to strike North Vietnam runways and MIG bases. Weather forecast notes showers and cooler skies with a warm, mild week ahead.

Scientists Build Complex Virus From Bacteria Parts
In Pasadena California two Caltech biologists Dr Robert Edgar and Dr William Wood report assembling a live virus named T4 from incomplete virus parts. The syringe shaped particle measures about one hundred thousandth of an inch and requires bacteria to reproduce. They show heat and chemical treatment can inactivate parts of the virus DNA to produce incomplete components that reassemble into a functional virus in a test tube.
