...sounded almost as if Milo Minderbinder, the entrepreneurial mess officer who honored all contracts American and German, had stepped incarnate from the pages of Catch-22. On an overcast day last week, five U.S. fighter-bombers, using "precision" electronic bombing gear, went astray and swept over the U.S. airbase at Danang, South Viet Nam. They promptly deposited 34 500-lb. bombs on the sprawling installation. Only a "few" of the bombs landed on a fuel supply area, the military said; the rest fell harmlessly in open country.

Tom Rakewell is portrayed as an innocent, even likeable young man, who is led astray by the conniving servant, Nick Shadow, and robbed of his riches and his innocence. After Rakewell has scorned his true love and taken up with the bearded lady, Shadow reveals himself as a diabolical agent, and plays Tom a card game, with Rakewell's soul as the stakes. Although Tom wins at this operatic Seventh...
