...jumping jacks. My nurse took blood from my car and dropped it into copper sulfate to see whether I was anemic. Then she asked me 30 questions, including "Have you been exposed to malaria?" When I said I was unsure she told me people who go to Vietnam must flirt with this danger. I said I might know more about that in two years because my number...
When he told the high school girls "I want one of you to ask us if you can go for a ride on our bikes," the girls were way ahead of him. "Don't tell us any more," said one. "We know how to flirt."

...central story situation is the same: actors pretend to be Air Force bombardiers who flirt with the mimicry of death only to find that, one by one, they are really being killed on their outlandish make-believe bombing missions over Constantinople and Minnesota. The plot might well have been retrieved from Pirandello's wastebasket. Broadway these days is full of preachers who thunder that war is evil and that racial prejudice is hateful, but who seem not to have the slightest compunction about discrimination against good drama...
