...pace and tenor of the Medina court-martial at Fort McPherson, Ga., was in sharp contrast to Calley's trial. In the latter case, the coldly efficient Army prosecutor, Captain Aubrey M. Daniel, was easily able to destroy the bumbling defense put forward by Calley's aging civilian counsel, George W. Latimer. Medina's chief prosecutor was Major William G. Eckhardt, who went into the trial with the record of having unsuccessfully prosecuted two previous Viet Nam atrocity cases. The captain's lawyer, moreover, was the flamboyant Boston attorney F.

Stephen Farber, 27, a film critic who quit the board after a stormy six months, says, "Pubic hair and breasts, that's what they're worried about...

Aubrey Smith, his mustache drooping imperially, leans forward in his scarlet mess dress tunic to rearrange the saltcellars, silverware and apples on the table before him. There are proud mutterings of hussars, lancers, and Royal Scots Greys, tones of awe for the Panzergrenadiers. "There they were," he announces with grave mien. "And over here, a thin red line...
