...long-haired bystander for no other reason than his beatnik look, then covered him with feathers; he suffered minor burns. Otherwise the combativeness was limited mostly to vigorous flag-waving and the legends blazoned on hand-lettered signs. There were, of course, hyper-hawks galore, toting signs reading "Bomb Haiphong" and "Drop peaceniks on Hanoi." One banner proclaimed: "Ho Chi Minh is a fink-give him the kitchen sink. If that don't settle the score-give him the kitchen door." But there were also pacifists on the sidewalks who carried neither flags nor banners-just flowers...
...firmly fixed, South Vietnamese units as large as a company slip across for a swift, unpublicized strike. But the main job of harassment is carried out by the Royal Laotian Air Force's 25-odd prop-driven T-28 fighter-bombers and U.S. jets out of Thailand, which bomb the heavy traffic on the trail around the clock under the euphemism of "armed reconnaissance...
...Guatemala the situation has, by contrast, remained fairly quiet-though at least 250 Castroite terrorists still roam the country's interior.

Caught and incarcerated in the Tower, at film's end the culprits are conspiring to commit more sibling revelry-an escape that will make their big crime seem small...
...effort. When the judge's son Johnny was attending a private school in Montgomery, George Wallace chortled that Johnson was evading desegregation, and state agents descended on the school to investigate alleged "Communist overtones." No clues have yet led to the persons unknown who set off a bomb outside the Montgomery home of Johnson's 69-year-old mother two weeks ago. The Johnsons have lost friends, though "none we wanted to keep." They belong to Montgomery's handsome country club, but the judge confines his avid golfing (mid-80s) to a few open-minded military partners...
