...story across to the public. The man who commanded Charlie Company when it attacked My Lai, Captain Ernest Medina, appeared in Washington with flamboyant Attorney F. Lee Bailey at his side. Bailey convinced Army officials that even though other potential witnesses were under court orders not to discuss the case, Medina should be allowed publicly to refute accounts given by some members of his company about his role on that fateful morning of March 16. In a Washington press conference and a televised interview with CBS's Mike Wallace, Medina emerged as an articulate professional soldier, concerned not only...
Last week Los Angeles police announced that they had solved the five murders and three others as well. If they are correct, the alleged murderers were even stranger and more bizarre than their crimes. The police case was based on the tale of an accused murderer, Susan Denise Atkins, 21. She sketched out a weird story of a mystical, semi-religious hippie drug-and-murder cult led by a bearded, demonic Mahdi able to dispatch his zombie-like followers, mostly girls wearing hunting knives, to commit at least eight murders and, police say, possibly four others...
Manson is presently in custody on car-theft charges in Independence, Calif. Los Angeles police are seeking conspiracy and murder indictments against him. The case began to break several weeks ago when Miss Atkins, a former acid-dropper and topless dancer, began to blurt out pieces of her gruesome tale in jail, and another prisoner informed police.

Clumsy U.S. battalions in the mid-1960s were out of place in the jungles, swamps and highlands of South Viet...
...other sections I caught glimpses of friends. Of all these people, 125 were hired from the Screen Actors' Guild, 125 were specially-recruited students from Harvard-Radcliffe and Brandeis, and the rest were curiosity-seekers who would each get a dollar for dropping in and signing a release in case they actually appeared on film. As it turned out, these dollar people probably got the best deal. The professionals and students were committed for three days of misery. Those benches were hard, and it was much too cold to take off any of the clothes you were fortunate enough...
