There would be cries of "Who lost Southeast Asia?" as there once were of "Who lost China?" And, more bitter than the China question (for the U.S. did not fight there): "Who betrayed our boys?"

...were, as everyone knows, terrible. But the people of Flushing Meadow loved them; they loved the antics performed by the Amazin's and they loved their names: Marvelous Marv Throneberry, Hot Rod Kanehl, Choo Choo Coleman.
