Seldom, if ever, have the Communist troops shown more willingness to drop their arms than in the 1st Air Cav's Operation Irving along the central coast, one of the most successful U.S. operations of the war (see THE WORLD).

After talking with Killian for more than two hours, they came away disappointed and convinced that the Institute preferred Brookline-Elm to other possibilities...
