...crisis developed when some of the New Mobe's most militant steering-committee members called a hurried meeting in Washington and voted to exclude businessmen and politicians from the speakers' platform for the Washington rally. Too many such men, they argued, had either profited from or approved war appropriations. When Moratorium leaders heard of the action, they met with some of Mobilization's less radical leaders and argued forcefully that such a move would alienate all the politicians and average citizens who had been recruited by M-day. They won the argument. Both groups held press conferences...
Linoleum. Perhaps the biggest factor working for Lindsay is Procaccino's failure to rally either the Democrats or the independents. The most conservative of five primary candidates, he won the Democratic nomination with only a third of the vote, and has had difficulty expanding that base. Many prominent Democrats are actively supporting Lindsay. In the News poll, Lindsay captured a bigger slice of the Democrats, 44%, than Procaccino, who got 37%. Procaccino's personality also worked against him. The contrast between Lindsay's Ivy League polish and Procaccino's almost deliberate coarseness began to chafe...
...mass graves just east of the Citadel, the walled city that shelters Hue's old imperial palace. About 150 corpses were exhumed from the first mass grave, many tied together with wire and bamboo strips. Some had been shot, others had apparently been buried alive.

...hydraulic lift, two getaway cars and a crew to operate them. Because nearly $110,000 of his swag was in traceable notes, he had to dispose of them in the underworld at a 50% discount. Escaping from England cost him $45,000 for a small boat, hiding places on either side of the Channel and escorts. Abroad he visited a plastic surgeon for expensive ($7,000) alterations to his face and fingertips. He spent 15 months in hiding, then bought a fake passport and flew to Australia as Terrence Furminger. From Adelaide he sent back $2,500 for other passports...
...parent of the same sex and with deeply divided feelings for the parent of the opposite sex. In an exhaustive study of homosexuals in therapy, a group of researchers headed by Psychoanalyst Irving Bieber observed that a large number of homosexuals came from families where the father was either hostile, aloof or ineffectual and where the mother was close-binding and inappropriately intimate (CBI in scientific jargon). Bieber's wife, Psychologist Toby Bieber, has found many of the same patterns in the parents of lesbians, although in reverse...
