...first target was the jazz fans (rock 'n' rollers are clearly beyond his or anyone else's ken), and his schedule includes appearances at Forest Hills, Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit. His choice for first drop was that citadel of jazz purists, the Newport Jazz Festival. The assault was conducted in the new manner to which Sinatra has become accustomed...
Among the recommendations made by the Warren Commission after its investigation of President Kennedy's assassination was that Congress should pass a law making it a federal-as opposed to a state or local-crime to kill, kidnap or assault a President, Vice President, President-elect or Vice President-elect.

Commander Nguyen Thanh Chau, 32, and his 25th River Assault Group, a flotilla of gunboats headquartered at Cantho, 100 miles southwest of Saigon, but ranging through the whole delta.

They consist mainly of 6,000 American-supplied Meo tribesmen, tough little primitives skilled in the savage techniques of ambush and night assault. Meo loyalty has been sealed by a U.S. airlift of rice ($6,500,000 worth this year alone), which feeds 160,000 tribesmen. Along with the kernels come rifles, grenades and ammunition to replace the traditional Meo crossbows...
