Seven UH-1 helicopters, painted with white stripes to signify that they were in the commission's employ, picked up Tra and 29 of his officers, still wearing their jungle-green uniforms; one Viet Cong arrived in Saigon carrying his automatic weapon...
...late-night Paris café, where all the customers got up to dance, spontaneously crowding the floor; Tango's lingering and desperate ballroom interlude gives the film its title.

We will assume...

"During the times of thinking about a project and realizing its nature, I don't need so many people," he explains. "It can be harmful if you employ too many.
