Her reveries and reproaches fill the stage with the past, and she shifts easily back and forth from half-mad laughter to sober despair.

Then, in a second attack the same day, they scored a direct hit on the hastily built-up Dak To ammunition dump. For the next eight hours U.S. soldiers in and around Dak To cowered in their bunkers while tracer bullets arced in all directions, flares popped like fireworks and shells exploded. Seven tons of C-4 plastic explosive went off simultaneously, producing the largest blast...
