They represented half of the country's strategic reserve. To old hands, the convoy seemed ominously reminiscent of the days before Dienbienphu, when just such relief columns led and manned by French troops...

No longer must a printer justify lines by hand -expanding or contracting them to fit the width of a column. Nor need he worry about hyphenating words.
