...they deliberately slay so many defenseless civilians? West claims that the orders read to them by the company commander, Captain Medina, were "to destroy Pinkville and everything in it." Another member of the company, Lenny Lagunoy, 25, said Medina had told them to "kill everything that moves."

These things could make for a very annoying novel, creating blind paths that lead to nowhere, a riot just for the hell of it. Instead, however, you wind up with a strong, funny book that manages to make its own kind of sense. It works the way a poker game does, depending entirely on the player's tricks, timing, and style. The author of this tale has got all three...
Divorced. Manuel Ycaza, 31, tabasco-tempered Panamanian jockey, whose hell-for-leather racing style has won more than $19 million in purses since 1957; by Linda Bement Ycaza, 27, Miss Universe of 1960; after seven years of marriage, two children; in Mineola...
