...refugee camps that line the Indo-East Pakistani border. David Greenway, whose most recent beat was the United Nations, formerly served in the Saigon and Bangkok bureaus. Last week he visited the insurgent forces. "The countryside," he says, "looks quite like Viet Nam, and with all the airpower, armor and artillery the rebels face, it must have been like visiting the Viet Cong in the early days of that other...
...with monarchy!" it appeared to be a standard, radical-inspired Arab upheaval. Certainly it had Libya's mercurial Colonel Muammar Gaddafi fooled. There is no evidence to indicate that Libya had any advance knowledge of the plot. Nonetheless, Gaddafi earned Hassan's enmity by immediately offering ground, armor and air support to what he thought were his ideological brothers in Morocco. They were hardly that.

The occasion was the unveiling of the Army's first triple-capability (TRICAP) division, an experiment in relating the uses of the helicopter, as refined in Viet Nam, to the Army of the '70s and '80s. Should TRICAP prove out over the next three years, it will employ tanks for shock on the ground, Hueys...
