...half-forgotten Korean armistice, marked only by minor skirmishes and routine infiltration attempts, the Chinese-dominated North Koreans now want to prod and poke the U.S. For days, the North Korean radio has been ranting that the "U.S. imperialist troops'-must be driven from South Korea. Al week's end a sizable group of Communist soldiers boldly penetrated 500 yards into the U.S. sector and waged a two-hour skirmish with U.S. patrols...

Well, the Seminola speech department must have thrown in the vowel, because Tammy is still babbling her own unearthly blend of Christopher Marlowe and Al Capp. The bayous behind her, she is now a nurse's aide in a big Los Angeles hospital...
