...join the attack, and the V.C. pulled back and zeroed in their mortars on the ridge line. The first incoming round landed precisely on a marine's head, blowing him to pieces. Pinned down again, Bull called for a napalm strike. It turned the Viet Cong into charcoal sticks, and suddenly enemy firing ceased. A medical-evacuation helicopter landed on top of the ridge and took away the wounded...
...Tired of waging a pre-Promethean struggle with stubborn charcoal? Caloric of Topton, Pa., has produced a gas-fired grill that looks like the standard charcoal brazier but uses gas-heated, long-lasting ceramic briquettes.

In his Homage to Medgar Evers, the Mississippi N.A.A.C.P. leader shot in the back, a human figure is recognizable in a miasma of charcoal only because one fiery tracer plunges down a pathway of death and blows out his life...
