...about tracking down the culprits. Many of them, it turned out, still had their cards; they had been burning licit scraps of notepaper. One readily identifiable card burner was Northwestern University Political Science Researcher Gary Rader, 23, a reservist in an Illinois Special Forces unit, who wore his green beret and Class A uniform while he burned his draft card in Central Park before newspaper cameras. FBI agents arrested Rader last week at his Evanston, Ill., apartment, handcuffed him before they stuck him in a Chicago jail cell overnight. Though Rader was released the next day on $1,000 bond...
...exposed to enemy fire for only an hour or two at a stretch and not every day at that, Dr. Bourne wanted to study the reactions of ground forces in constant danger and therefore under continuing stress. To do this, he and Technician William M. Coli joined a Green Beret detachment of two officers and ten enlisted men stationed at Due Co, southwest of Pleiku and only a few miles from the Ho Chi Minh trail.

As the Thais raise their rifles, the earth nearby explodes from hidden mines-a sequence that has caused many Thai soldiers initially to drop their rifles in fright. But there is more to the Green Beret village than shooting. The Thais learn the guerrilla's subtleties: an escape tunnel beneath the village huts, a cache of arms buried under the little shrine of a phi spirit house, which all but Thai Communists might consider sacrosanct. The Thais value their tough training all the more because...
