...purpose. "We're trying to apply the lessons of Viet Nam to Thailand early in the game," says a top American military official. By laying a sound infrastructure of ports, highways and airstrips, bottlenecks like that currently plaguing the American buildup in Viet Nam are not likely to develop. When the bases and roads are completed, entire U.S. divisions could be airlifted into Thailand in a day's time from American bases in the Pacific or from the U.S. itself...

Both outfits together number no more than 1,000 members, but it is from just such hardened cadres that full-scale Viet Cong-style guerrilla armies develop...

"The schools represent a catharsis of guilt for many people in Las Vegas," says Newcomer. "They are glad to have something that gives this community an identity and a stability it never had before...
