...Kannack compound and its adjacent dirt airstrip, some 400 American and montagnard defenders oversee dense jungle, slippery slopes and the crumpled folds of ravines ideally suited for enemy mortar attack.

...decades after the war were mostly spent in France, first at a Riviera villa and later in a town house on the outskirts of Paris.

Some examples since 1961: Herbert Lee and Louis Allen, both shot to death near Liberty, Mississippi; four girls, killed in the Birmingham church bombing; Johnny Robinson, a 16-year-old shot by police after the Birmingham bombings; William L. Moore, the white postman murdered near Attala, Alabama; Medgar Evers, assassinated in Mississippi; James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, lynched near Philadelphia, Mississippi; Lemuel A. Penn, the educator slain near Athens, Georgia; the Negro burned to death in Louisiana last fall...
