...target spotting-the No. 1 challenge of a war in which U.S. airmen, in contrast to World War II's saturation-bombing of sprawling cities, must search out isolated objectives against a foe supremely skilled at camouflage. Says a fellow pilot of Kasler: "He is part hawk." Blue-eyed Kasler has his own explanation of the job. "When you know where to look for ground targets," says he, "suddenly they start popping into your vision. When you look at rivers, you are looking for camouflaged boats under overhanging trees.

The city's tribute should be reserved for those...
...nationwide police dragnet turned up more details. A Sydney newspaperman reported that he had seen the Tun (an aristocratic Malaysian title, though of lower rank than Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia's Prime Minister) taking a plane to Sydney under the assumed name "Hawk." Lim Yew Hock turned out to have been a habitue of Sydney's tenderloin King's Cross district, particularly its Paradise Club, which featured Sandra Nelson, 19, the most expansive (43-24-36) stripper in town. Where was Sandra? Also missing; and try as they might, the police couldn't locate...
