...Correspondent Sidey almost never goes anywhere without his portable typewriter. He took it along when the correspondents were called to what might have been just another briefing at the U.S. embassy in Manila. Along with 44 other newsmen, Sidey was locked into a room, then whisked aboard a waiting bus for the surprise flight with Johnson to Cam Ranh Bay in South Viet Nam.

...Brose instantly bridles: "Didn't you tell me it was an easy job?" Price is all for throwing this cheeky beggar out, but Brose won't buy it: "I'll get you, don't you worry. Some night when you're going for your bus. Scuffle, then clunk. There won't be much blood to speak of, just an agony and an aching, and not being able to drag yourself along the wet pavement...
