...right side of his head). "He was cordial. He asked me to sit down, gave me a cigarette, asked me about my family-I'd been allowed one letter at that point. He said he was trying to select a man to celebrate the downing of the 3,000th U.S. plane to tell the American people the truth about the war and appear on TV. I said I wasn't the guy. He said I must. The Vietnamese people had saved my life, he said, had fed me. I said I owed him nothing...
...chicken-counting, and I was one of the chickens, and so I find it hard to understand why The Crimson devoted so much coverage to the sale of the 200,000th or whatever ticket (How long--O Lord?) to "The King of Hearts."
