...uniforms for the Viet Cong in jungle-hidden factories replete with Singer sewing machines. They assemble rifle grenades and Claymore mines and devise booby traps. Carrying double baskets, they act as the Viet Cong's trucks, toting rice and ammunition to the front lines. Once there, they help dig trenches and fortify bunkers, nurse and evacuate the wounded, bury the dead.

In the honky-tonks, they can dig the big beat of the Supremes singing Come See About Me or the kinky cool of Ahmad Jamal's Heat Wave, bop about the bars in their "shades" (sunglasses) and talk "trash" (shoot the bull). The girls of Soulsville -many of them dark-skinned Cambodians or the daughters of French Senegalese soldiers-are less costly and usually less comely than their sisters on white-dominated Tu Do Street near by.
