Madame Bui Huu Khiem, owner of La Fregate, the best hotel in Nha Trang, with a brand-new $100,000 air-conditioned wing, quickly made her own plans.

"If the V.C. take over, all the people here would point me out as a rich woman and I would get shot," she said fatalistically.

...Caan's idea of athletics. He was therefore relieved to get away for a day at New York's Aqueduct race track to check up with the trainer of his five horses there and get his colors registered. Jimmy, a veteran rodeo rider, has decided that his brand, a rocking JC, will be stamped on silks of emerald and white - a Jewish cowboy, Jimmy loves the Irish. Even if he were not famous, he would catch every stooper's eye. "Dappled out" is racing talk for a fit horse. Lean and tan, Jimmy looks dappled out - ready...
