December bombing in Indochina by U S forces
U S warplanes dropped 95,490 tons of bombs in December across Indochina, concentrated over North Vietnam during a 12 day Christmas blitz. Penta gon figures show lower December tonnage than May August or November, with B52s leading and F4s flying many missions. Nine USAF aircraft were damaged by antiaircraft fire, with two B52s lost earlier. North Vietnamese claimed higher aircraft losses.

Hoffa pardon looming as book links toWhite House
Former Justice Department investigator Walter Sheridan describes in a published book how James Hoffa’s 1967 release on clemency led to bribery threats and an assassination plot. Sheridan claims White House backing and a political alliance with the Teamsters, with aides named as figures who once aided Hoffa. The piece notes Hoffa’s 1967 prison term and 1971 parole conditions, and outlines key cases, including West Fleet and Sun Valley, tied to his union corruption charges.
