Peace talks in Paris to end the Vietnam war continue for a second year without progress, but Washington reduces U.S. troop strength in Vietnam below 400,000 in response to mounting public pressure as casualties rise.

Speaking against the war... and the country, actress Jane Fonda says, "It's my fondest wish, that some day, every American will get down on their knees and pray to God that some day they will have the opportunity to live in a Communist Society."

Several colleges are forced to close down in the face of demonstrations against the war.
