VETERANS Viet Nam veterans are showing markedly less interest in continuing their education than did their World War II and Korean War predecessors. Of the 6.3 million eligible for schooling under the present G.I. Bill, which covers men who served after Jan. 31, 1955, only 1.3 million, or about 20%, are now taking advantage of the benefits.

In April of this year, Philadelphia's Reporter-Writer Greg Walter listened to tapes a local radio station had made (but had never used) in which four Korean boys described unwilling homosexual contact with Harris. He then began digging. He traveled across the U.S., talking to former and current foundation employees, to board members and benefactors, to the young men on the tapes, to Miss Buck herself.
