...accumulated U.S. guerrilla combat knowledge is being poured into the frustrating fight in South Viet Nam, where Air Commandos, Special Forces and SEALS are all advising the Viet Nam regulars.

Claiming that their ground support has proved efficient in combat, Air Force brass also cites history, quotes Arrny General...

Blessed with an outfield of .300 hitters, Tony Gonzales, Johnny Callison and Don Demeter, an infield that suddenly includes Don Hoak, the Phils now have pitching, too: Art Mahaffey, Chris Short, Dennis Bennett, Dallas Green, bullpen ace, Jack Baldschun, and veteran Cal McLish...
