His great victory was "Operation Hawk," in which the troops of his friend General Somoza (whose family has ruled Nicaragua for 34 years) and the U.S. Southern Command participated. (Thomas and Marjorie Melville, op. cit., p. 28) As the Vice President, Rojas, bragged in his magazine La Hara, at least one village was napalmed in this action. The guerrillas were driven...
Walt Frazier of the New York Knickerbockers basketball team has a different problem: convincing people that he was wearing those broad-brimmed gangster hats and wide-lapel pin-stripe suits long before the movie Bonnie and Clyde came out.

The new canal will also have the potential to han dle 56,000 ships a year-twice today's maximum volume...
...Hard Time. Next stop: the National Press Club, where he told reporters that he was a draftee with no "natural penchant for the martial career." The suddenly moderate Ky ridiculed his image as a hawk ("Although I do fly, I have not very often thought of myself as a bird") and played up his role as head of the South Vietnamese delegation to the Paris peace talks...
