That is Viet Nam combat doing its wild repertory in the theater of a vet's nerves...
...This may not be true of Mrs. Thomas Carlyle, who addressed a letter to her husband, "Goody, Goody, dear Goody" and signed it "Goody" as well; or of Zelda Fitzgerald, who once focused on the sartorial-"I look down the tracks and see you coming and out of every haze and mist your darling rumpled trousers are hurrying to me"-but it is true in the general...
