...this nonsense by Ted Kennedy about Hamburger Hill [May 30] makes me furious. I cannot see how he can make such a statement after what has been happening in the A Shau Valley during the preceding weeks. In early May, the 1/501st Infantry, 101st Airborne Division found one of the largest enemy caches in the history of the war about seven miles from Hamburger Hill. Two weeks later, the 3/187th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division found another cache almost as large three miles from Hamburger Hill. The A Shau Valley is the logistical center that keeps the rockets and mortars coming...
...Sullivan. "I said, 'Toddie, I don't like this at all. Something must be wrong.' " Next, he dispatched Nancy on an inspection trip, then dropped the Gresham to No. 2 in Dublin, behind the Shelbourne. "We said we hoped it was only a temporary aberration," Fielding says. At first furious, O'Sullivan took a second look and decided that the Guide was right. After an $850,000 renovation job, he threw a dinner in Fielding's honor and at toasting time told one and all: "This was one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to me." (Says...

One fellow lawyer described Fortas as simply "avaricious." It is no secret that Fortas' cigar-smoking wife Carolyn was furious when L.B.J. named Fortas to the bench: he exchanged a law practice worth about $150,000 a year for a Supreme Court post that then paid only $39,500. (Mrs. Fortas, as a member of her husband's old firm, earns a reputed $100,000 a year...
...have a highly developed instinct for this sort of rock-kineticism. The drummer, Jimmy Hodder, always maintains a sharp edge to his drumming, which is in part a function of the extreme, pungent clarity of every one of his beats, the bassists (Lassie Sachs) consistently keeps up a furious fluttering, Bobby Gass, on organ, punctuates the music with gigantic, sudden, marching chords, constantly accenting with his left hand the lyrical melodies that he plays with his right. The lead-guitarist, John Sheldon, has the kind of rhythmic chording sense that is so conspicuously absent in most white American rock-guitarists...
