Orders with Kick. To reach Aba, federal forces had to cross the swift cur rents of the Imo River, which the Bi-afrans had established as the major defense line protecting Aba by the simple expedient of blowing up the main bridges. They had left just one bridge intact-at Awaza-and it was heavily mined. When federal marine comman dos stepped onto the bridge, it, too, exploded and vanished. The blast, however, failed to stop federal soldiers from running across the catwalk on top of a natural-gas pipeline that spanned the river parallel to the bridge...
However, the rule was not meant to apply to John Wayne, who was called on for an "inspirational reading" rather than a run-of-the-mill invocation. Demonstrations for candidates were also cur tailed. When Lincoln was nominated in 1860, such a din rocked Chicago's Wigwam auditorium that, as one witness observed, "a thousand steam whistles, ten acres of hotel gongs, a tribe of Comanches might have mingled in the scene unnoticed."

McConnell argued that American bombing could have been more effective if it had been less "gradual." "It was the second of March 1965," he reminisced, "and we recommended what we called a sharp, sudden blow which would...
