...only problem with this approach is that it requires a light touch. See Alan Cox's wonderful Repo Man or Scorsese's street-smart After Hours for effortless demonstrations of a delicate hand. But Subway, with its insistent apathy and learn-while-you're-luny preachiness, is as subtle in the end as a Punch and Judy pugil stick...

...Northerners' progress was weirdly effortless. They rolled across the Central Highlands. There the South Vietnamese army (ARVN) collapsed in headlong panic. The ARVN soldiers fought bravely elsewhere, notably around Xuan Loc, but the Communists drove steadily south.
