    May 19, 1967

    The Post crowns the front page with a Vietnam banner headline. The story, headlined "U.S., S.Vietnamese Troops Invade Demilitarized Zone," describes how U.S. and South Vietnamese troops launched their first full-scale assault into the DMZ separating the two Vietnams. The story "Johnson Cites Limited U.S. Viet Objectives" reports on a May 18 news conference in which the president noted that American objectives in Vietnam "still are limited" and that he believed "support for the Administration is increasing." At the bottom of the page, "The Face of Protest: 9 Barred at White House Gates."
