...spreading faster than the fire storms set by the hero's explosive warheads. Hollywood megahits of summers past have flooded the market with such whimsical souvenirs as furry Gremlins and cuddly E.T.s. This year stores are stocking up with war paraphernalia: a $150 replica of Rambo's high-tech bow and arrow, Rambo knives and an assortment of toy guns, including a semiautomatic job that squirts a stream of water 10 ft. Youngsters will soon be able to pop Rambo vitamins, and New Yorkers can send a Rambogram, in which a Stallone look-alike will deliver a birthday message...

...ghosts of war linger everywhere. On a river at Ben Tre, children fish from the bow of a half-submerged U.S. patrol boat; the deck gun is shrouded in laundry. Near the northern port of Da Nang, where a scattering of Soviet and Polish tourists sunbathe on quiet beaches, hillsides are dotted with the carcasses of U.S. armor.
