...dash for cover is part of every man's routine. "It's a modus vivendi," says Protestant Chaplain Ray Stubbe, 29. "The men run for shelter, but they don't cringe when they get there." Except for an occasional case of what the corpsmen call "acute environmental reaction" (shell shock), the Marines at Khe Sanh are taking their ordeal with considerable composure. Only their unwelcome bunkermates-the rats-be come frantic under fire. When the "in coming" starts, the rats race for the bunkers and wildly run up to the ceilings made of runway matting and logs...

He sees what a guy is interested in, lets him talk, and then takes what the guy just said and artfully turns it around to tie in with what he [Lowenstein] is trying to prove . . . it could be a terrible talent in the hands of a demagogue...
