Googoos? That was the contemptuous label which American fighting men applied to an earlier enemy in Southeast Asia, a guerrilla army as fierce and feisty as any elite Viet Cong unit, and twice as bloodthirsty. The ambush of C Company took place on Sept. 28, 1901, on the Philippine island of Samar. The guerrillas were Filipino insurrectos inspired by General Emilio Aguinaldo, tough little "bolomen" whose razor-sharp cane knives and captured Krag-Jorgensen rifles killed 4,165 Americans before the three-year insurrection was quelled. In turn, some 20,000 Filipinos died in the struggle...

Though it is only common sense to de-emphasize the party label in areas where a candidate's party is in a distinct minority, the tactic is no longer so clear-cut. Republicans and Democrats-and not only in the South-are both playing the no-party game. Emotional issues such as Viet Nam and the race question are not delineated neatly by party or region, and thus many candidates' overt ties with the national parties seem, on the surface, to be more financial than ideological...
