...anyone to care about this father. But Holbrook wants to love him, and tries. The effort mostly takes the form of talk -on filial duty, on paternal sacrifice, on the family ties that chafe as they bind. Instead of a shock of recognition, there is merely the camera click of domestic snapshots that might turn up in any middle-class family album...
...seniors' next turn that everything started to click. Parrot, who had looked like a center most of the night, stuck to his left wing and barely missed two goals. One breathtaking left-to-right sequence--Parrot to Garrity to Fredo--ended in Wood's pads but brought loud applause from the optimistic fans.

From Korat, Takhli and Ubon come the F-105 Thunderchiefs and F-4C and F-4D Phantoms that actually deliver the bombs. From U-Tapao airfield in the Gulf of Siam, the largest jet field in Southeast Asia, four-engine KC-135 refueling tankers take...
