...huge U.S. military base at Cam Ranh Bay has long been hailed as proof of American determination to stay in Viet Nam. Swiftly constructed at a cost of more than $100 million by Army engineers in the heady days of the 1965-66 buildup, the complex has 70 miles of roads, a jet airfield, a port handling ocean freighters and one of the Army's largest supply depots anywhere. Cam Ranh Bay was considered so safe that Lyndon Johnson paid two visits there...
Then one night last week the war came to Cam Ranh Bay. Obviously tipped off about the base's security arrangements, a squad of Viet Cong guerrillas managed about midnight to slip past trip flares and guard posts on the northern perimeter. Once inside, they unerringly made their way to the army hospital. After hurling satchel charges at ward doors and windows, the guerrillas fired automatic rifles into the long, low buildings. Dashing through the darkness, the Viet Cong also blew up a chapel and a water tower. In all, the attack damaged 19 buildings. Most...
...Opera grew into one of the most interesting companies in America. It never had chic like Salzburg or Bay-reuth-but then, the European festivals do not offer beer, hot dogs and wild animals to patrons bored with La Traviata and Rigoletto.

Iowa-born kid turned U.S.C. football star,, the former Marion Morrison began in films as a part-time prop man. He fell into bottom-of-the-bill cowboy pictures and made a few better-forgotten films in civilian clothes. "They had a college picture about girls playing basketball," he recalls. "The man in charge was a little dance director. Everything he did was by the count?one, two, three, four?and then your line...
Down at Newport Beach, Wayne also makes it livable for the most number of people. Out in Newport Bay bobs his boat, Wild Goose II. Lesser men would have a yacht; Wayne's craft is a converted minesweeper. His house overflows with memorabilia and sentimental tributes from institutions as far apart as Good Housekeeping and the U.S. Marines. His collection of Hopi Indian kachina dolls is probably second only to Barry Goldwater's. Though the family car appears to be a standard Pontiac station wagon, it was custom built. "I wrote to the head man at G.M.," he beams...
