...Lives. The low "kill-rate," to borrow an unhappy term from the other war, was due in large measure to lessons learned from three years of urban upheaval. Heeding the advice of the Kerner riot-commission report, which warned that "the use of excessive force-even the inappropriate display of weapons-may be inflammatory and lead to worse disorder," lawmen in most cities refrained from gunplay, and magistrates quickly processed those arrested for rioting, setting low bail as the commission suggested. There were few black snipers on the rooftops; on the streets, police and National Guardsmen mostly kept their weapons...
...Display of Independence. Many South Vietnamese were annoyed that the new U.S. initiatives came at a time when Thieu, at U.S. prodding, was just beginning to combat corruption.

But even after the meticulous display of credentials, Brown continued to worry out loud about his ride. "I'm a Soul Brother and don't you forget it... I don't want to be one of those people who get lost in society and sit back and wonder what is going on down there. If the Black...
...beef, chicken and fried shrimp, specifications for which are detailed in a six-inch-thick recipe book called "the Bible." With an IBM computer keeping close tabs on supplies and customer preferences, Morrison's holds losses from spoilage and leftovers to a scant 2%. Similar precision governs food display: on the serving line, such higher-profit extras as shrimp cocktail and strawberry shortcake always come first, on the theory that hungry customers are most apt to buy them before they get their meat and potatoes...
