...days, his combativeness made him an exception. Now that the army is beginning to shape up, he is a symbol of its feisty new spirit. As commander of ARVN's Operation Total Victory, which has involved some of the deepest South Vietnamese air and armor thrusts into the Parrot's Beak and beyond, Tri has waded farther than ever into the shooting. A newsman who joined him on one recent foray was astonished when Tri ordered his helicopter to land virtually in the midst of a skirmish, then ignored vicious Communist rocket and machine-gun fire to walk...
...Bakr that they believed to be a military installation. On Israel's Lebanese frontier, hit-and-run raids by Arab guerrillas have killed eight Israelis and wounded 30 in recent weeks, most of them civilians. Two weeks ago, in an effort to silence such attacks, Israeli jets and armor swept into Lebanon on a 34-hour punitive raid.

But on the dry plains of Cambodia, where long plumes of dust rose behind the speeding armor, conditions were ideal...
...show of 19th century American art. Next day, Manhattan's finest and richest turned up at another gala to celebrate, for the fifth time this season and for $125 apiece, the 100th anniversary of the museum. There was waltzing to a Meyer Davis orchestra in the Arms and Armor Court, frugging to Watson and the Sherlocks in the Fountain Restaurant, and the guest list filled the society columns for days. Even the pickets were elegant. In black tie and evening gowns, conservationists marched up and down in front of the new fountains on the floodlit Fifth Avenue side...
