Typically, the Royal Laotians in Vientiane were undisturbed by Communist victories. Without hindrance, the Pathet Lao set up a machine gun in a nearby village and opened fire on U.S. helicopters approaching the city airport. More excitement was caused by a new Greek stripteaser at a local cabaret and by the notice posted at the Lido nightclub: "Just arrived from Thailand-ten fresh, young girls with medical certificates...
...Nacionalistas' Carlos Garcia was getting himself elected President, Macapagal ran for the vice-presidency on the opposition Liberal Party ticket. He not only won, but also polled 160,000 more votes than Garcia himself. Last week a boisterous Liberal Party convention met in the mammoth Santa Ana cabaret outside Manila, and named Macapagal to run against Garcia in next November's presidential election...

Bogarde and Gardner fall into intimate clutch during one of the first air raids of the Spanish Civil War. That very morning Bogarde had left the church because its hierarchy sympathized with Francisco Franco's rebels. But after the raid, in the kind of irony that cuts like a rubber dagger, he is hunted down by a mob of enraged Loyalists who have convinced themselves that the city...
