...would have been easy enough for the U.S. flotilla to harass the Soviet trawler, but that would have invited similar treatment for any U.S. ELINT, or electronic intelligence-gathering vessel, in any other part of the world. Even in the seamy business of espionage, some gentlemanly rules prevail, and the U.S. and the Soviet Union, as first-rate maritime powers, generally try to observe them scrupulously. North Korea, with only a bathtub navy, obviously feels no such compunction.

The Air Cav's quick reflexes are still always ready to respond to major ground action when heliborne muscle is needed, or to tangle with any main-force units that dare come out and fight in Binh Dinh. Since few any longer do, the division is using its airpower to harass the Viet Cong in other novel ways. One is Operation Snatch, which is employed whenever a roving Air Cav chopper spots a suspiciously large group of people in the countryside. The Cavalrymen immediately dive down to pick up a few suspects for questioning, a tactic that...
...biggest buyers. And the country's large and enterprising Chinese minority still threatens to cause trouble over the establishment of Malay as the official language. In East Malaysia - the Kansas-sized states of Sarawak and Sabah on Borneo's northern coast - Communist terrorists based in Indonesia harass rubber plantations and lines of communications, diverting money and manpower needed for development...
