...given a carton of cigarettes, promoted to captain and reassigned to the Pentagon. What I gather from reports is that My Lai was a V.C. village, and Charlie Cong is not a conventional soldier, but a toothless old woman, a goateed old man or a mine-setting little boy. Lieut. Galley and his men did no wrong. They just did their job-staying alive in a rich man's war but a poor man's fight...
...Publishers. The topical messages are not always gentle. For $1, the Black Panthers offer a selection of twelve different greetings. One card portrays a pig-faced white Santa emerging from a chimney to confront a less-than-loving reception committee: a black father toting a carbine and his little boy preparing to bash St. Nick with a small Christmas tree. The trend is not only American. In Beirut the anti-Israel terrorists of Al-Fatah are selling cards with a drawing of innocent-looking Arab youths, one of them carrying a submachine gun.

...John Mitchell had promised "a massive indictment" of New Jersey public officials, Addonizio and nine present or former Newark city officeholders were charged by a federal grand jury with extortion and income tax violations.

To nobody's surprise, Stamler soon was replaced. One reason the reform efforts failed may well be that local political bosses, many of them thoroughly venal, enjoy...
...Olympias gains everything, because this match will lose her everything, if the King outlives it. Demosthenes gains the blood of the man he hates worse than death; the Athenians gain a civil war in Macedon, if we play our part, with the kingship in doubt, or passed to a boy they make light of, the more so since he's in disfavor. Darius, whose gold you want to keep even if it hangs you, gains even more...
