There has never been anything objectionable, however, or timid either, about the style of Argyll and Sutherland fighting. The regiment became famous throughout the empire when a London Times correspondent in 1854 sent back a dispatch on "the thin red line" of Argylls, standing two deep, that withstood a Russian charge at Balaklava in the Crimean War. When the outnumbered troops started to move forward to fight it out hand to hand, their commander, General Sir Colin Campbell, halted them only by bellowing out: "Ninety-third! Ninety-third! Damn all that eagerness...
...Franklin Clark Fry, it was unthinkable that God's business should be carried out with less professional dispatch than man's. Gavel in hand, he presided over ecumenical gatherings or sessions of his Lutheran Church in America with the cool parliamentary aplomb of a Speaker of the House-a job for which many of his clerical admirers thought him well-suited.

Tass added that the North Vietnamese would nonetheless be willing to consider Warsaw as an alternative. Hours later, Hanoi confirmed its choice of the Polish capital in a formal note delivered to U.S. Ambassador William Sullivan in Vientiane, where there have been as many as nine exchanges between American and North Vietnamese diplomats...
...tragedy is," says Murray Fromson, CBS's Bangkok bureau chief, "that we get the glory, but cameramen have made the good correspondents." Belatedly aware of that fact, CBS headquarters sent a dispatch directing that reporters give plugs to the helmetless heroes who have shot the film. If the footage is especially good, the New York producers on all three networks "super" subtitles on the screen crediting the cameramen and sound...
