Summary:

VIET SNIPERS In rice paddies near Bongson Airbase, American GI's chase and finally route a force of Vietcong troops. It's a rugged battle, fought tree to tree, with grenades and sniper fire pinning U.S. Forces down. Victory comes with 1 American Dead, 4 wounded...but much higher enemy casualties. LASER TRANSMISSION Georgetown University physicist, Dr. William Thaler, displays his new laser beam, allowing the light to carry information. Future use may include a half-million phone messages or 100 thousand TV Stations! MEDAL OF HONOR President Johnson presents the Medal of Honor to Army medic Lawrence Joel of Fayetteville, North Carolina, who ignored enemy fire to treat wounded buddies in Vietnam. The enemy was a mere thirty feet away while Joel ministered to his fallen comrades. THE SNOWDENS Britain's Princess Margaret and her husband, Lord Snowden, answer marriage break-up rumors with a New York reunion and a Nassau vacation. New York: a brief meeting, their first in several weeks. Nassau: They Pose for cameramen at "Lyford Cay." HAT FASHIONS In London, ladie's Spring and Summer hats are shown by designed Simone Mirman. Among the highlights: flower helmets, maximum-brims, flower hats-and-matching-collar ensembles, and gigantic flower-petal toppers. Say the critics, "sporty, feminine, gay!" TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS At the NCAA Track Championships in Detroit, Dave Patrick of Villanova sets a new world board-track half-mile record of one minute, forty-eight and nine-tenths seconds, beating Jim Ryun by twelve yards. Ryun wins in the mile in three minutes, fifty-eight and six-tenths seconds. His fourth under-four-minutes mile this year. RUGGER FIGHT Rival Medical Schools in London battle it out in their annual rugby football game and attendant riot. Each year, this event involves even the spectators, throwing sacks of flour and using high-power firehoses. Final score: 1 injured, 1 pub wrecked! SKIING French skiers dominate the North American Alpine Championships on Cannon Mountain, Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. Jean-Claude Killy takes both the downhill and the slalom, while Jimmy Huega finishes a close second in the slalom and American girls finish near the top.
