Tuesday, March 18, 1975. An Lộc abandoned.

The South Vietnamese government reported to the US of dire developments in country.  On the same day the ARVN abandoned An Lộc with the 32nd Ranger Group withdrawing along Highway 13 to Chơn Thành Camp.   The withdrawal would be completed the following day.

A Scene Of Chaos – March 18, 1975

Herbert Chitepo, a lawyer by training, and the 51-year old leader of the Zimbabwe African National Union (ZANU), was assassinated by a bomb that had been wired to his car at his home in Lusaka, Zambia. Robert Mugabe succeeded Chitepo as the leader of ZANU.

Who planted the bomb has never been determined.

Billy Graham, whom I'm not a fan of, addressed Native American Christian leaders in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The television series M*A*S*H ran the final episode featuring the Henry Blake character, whom the audience was informed was killed off screen when the airplane taking him on the first leg of his trip home was shot down over the Sea of Japan.

Last edition:
