He could not shake the uncomfortable reminders of the war in Indochina...

Another promising idea, Studs Terkel's talk show with real people instead of talk-show people, is mostly wind. Last week, though, Terkel's regular hardhat got off a gorgeous line about how his American dream was to own a bowling alley-with Arthur Schlesinger and Gore "Videll" (as he pronounced it) as pin boys...
