But last week their first single, "Last Train to Clarksville," reached the number one spot, according to Cashbox...
...khaki uniforms and FALN-type arm bands, the raiders attacked the police post with modern automatic weapons, killing three policemen and a child who wandered into the line of fire. With crisp military precision, they then cut communication lines, looted the government Agrarian Bank of $5,300, snatched the cashbox from the local brewery, and stole arms and ammunition from police headquarters.

...sons becomes an army paymaster, and when his regiment is overrun by the enemy, he is too honest to turn over the cashbox. His captors are bribable, but Mother Courage haggles too long over the price, and the boy dies before the firing squad. Just before, Mother Courage has implied that she will do anything to save her son. It is characteristic Brechtian cynicism to stage a contest between greed and mother love, and have greed...
