...roll tapes contributed by the men themselves. In the heat of An Khe's sunny clime, ice is still a luxury. When the Cav arrived, a local entrepreneur hauled in ice from Pleiku every day, most of it melting before he got there but the remainder providing a cool profit. Then one day he failed to show up, and troopers found his creaky, decrepit truck leaking ice water on Highway 19. The truck and its owner were riddled with Viet Cong bullets, and a note near the body read: "Do not take the dirty money of the Americans...
...Chewing. This is the kind of virtuoso performance that Met regulars have come to know as the Bing style: a disarming combination of urbanity and no-nonsense determination, wit and steely single-mindedness. In opera, where people chew on each other's egos like lozenges, Bing's cool cools all. "I really enjoy dealing with difficult people," he says.

At the stomper sits Heavenly Blues (Peter Fonda), a cool fool dragging a black leather jacket, bronk boots, hair as long as a girl's, and a German Iron Cross. With his free hand, H.B. picks his nose and then thoughtfully scratches his crotch. On the stingy seat, wearing a grab-me sweater, sits his sheep (Nancy Sinatra). Behind them 20 other double-straddled sickles...
