...Delta, comes food for the ten or so North Vietnamese divisions fighting south of the DMZ as well as fresh recruits for the V.C. main-force units. V.C. women assemble hand grenades in jungle factories, stitch uniforms, care for the wounded.

For privacy, they hung blankets around the beds. Later, the staff allowed prisoners to build separate units, and eventually girl friends were barred. The system was kept quiet for years, but now it is openly acknowledged, and no one in Mississippi seems greatly exercised about...
...buying films took them around Europe, and that is where their catholic taste in true (as the French say) led them to corner the market in Polish movie posters, build up the second most exotic stock of candy in the U.S., and become virtually the No. 1 beeswax candle outlet in this country...
