...Saigon arsenal: imagination. Guessing that the Viet Cong had already overrun the protected jungle clearings where relief helicopters could be expected to land, Vien sent 40 choppers loaded with troops swooping suddenly onto a soccer field adjacent to the defenders' compound. Before the Viet Cong could react, the bulk of the 52nd Ranger Battalion was on the ground and fighting. By the following morning, the Communist attackers had had enough. They faded like smoke into the jungle, leaving behind 700 dead. The defenders' toll was terrible too: at least 108 dead (including 18 Americans), 46 wounded, 126 missing...

The quivering of the mouth that works in the Ex is lost to the main stage audience, and directors often complain that an actor who seems full of vitality and charm in a practice room, and thereby wins a part, turns out not to be able to project his warmth on the stage...
That is a large assumption, but it is at least half true--the bulk of a student's contact with faculty members is likely to be not with the Galbraiths, Eriksons, and Freunds, but with the teaching fellows, instructors, and occasional assistant professors who teach his sections, who tutor in his House or in his department...
