An editorial discusses belief in the Devil using a UC survey showing high belief among Southern Baptists and Congregationalists. It reframes the Devil as existential corruption in motives, noting parental and human fallibility, and offers three coping approaches: fall, laugh, or forgive.
In Oakland two convicted prostitutes appeal, arguing their constitutional rights were violated because the men they were with were not arrested.

From the National Bureau in Washington a discussion of the Vietnam era policy challenges. The piece notes uncertainty in decision making, the limits of knowledge and experience, and the clash between those who seek on the job training and those who doubt the effort can succeed. It cites Braddock and French generals as lessons.
Fredric Collins argues that the tight answers come from unfolding history not cryptic thought or computers. He asserts that yielding South Vietnam to the North or fearing Chinese invincibility is not wise and that conceding a contest before it begins invites defeat.
