...four-day cease-fire that marked Viet Nam's Lunar New Year was launched amid hopes that it would grow into an extended truce. Instead, Hanoi used the Tet respite for reinforcement and replenishment of its troops below the 17th parallel. Army trucks rumbled down canopied jungle trails into South Viet Nam and cargo vessels sped with impunity down the coast, carrying more arms and supplies to the Communist forces than they had been able to deliver in all of January...
...prove that they had really isolated an infectious agent, the researchers had to grow it; they found it would multiply only in a medium containing living heart muscle itself. When the crop was injected into mice, the animals died in much the same way as heart-failure patients. What can the particles be?

Caused by bacteria of the Pseudomonas family, which grow easily in the moist soil of Southeast Asia, melioidosis develops after invasion of the system through open wounds, the mouth or the nose. One helicopter crew chief came down with it apparently as a result of inhaling some of the mud kicked up by his whirling blades...
