These frustrations were illustrated in a remarkable, though confidential, report made by a Marine Division Commander in the I Corps battle zone. His insight into the "very deep layer of bitterness" among his black troops demonstrated a rare understanding of racial tensions at that high level. The two-star general summarized the grievances that he found in the following question...
...sweet tooth, this is the one for you. Take some freshly whipped cream, to which you have added a dash of vanilla and a couple of teaspoons of powdered sugar and spread the concoction evenly on the penis so that the whole area is covered with a quarter-inch layer of cream. As a finishing touch, sprinkle on a little shredded coconut and/or chocolate. Then lap it all up with your tongue. He'll wriggle with delight and you'll have the fun of an extra dessert. If you have a weight problem, use one of the many artificial whipped...
...came with a vengeance. Not only was the weather sweltering-temperatures hovered around 90 degrees all week long-but there was also a temperature inversion. Like a lid on a jar, a stagnant upper layer of warm air kept heated air below from escaping. And what air! The city's brisk winds stopped dead; the sky darkened.

Then a silence, and it is over, some of the sailors fleeing across the ice to Finland and the rest on their...
...standing ovation for regimented economics from these quarters was generally predictable. However, a recent Gallup Poll reports that 48 per cent of the American population also favors a controls policy: it is clear that some substantial layer of wage-earning America endorses a policy that would. at minimum, hold wage rates to their current inadequate levels. (Real wages have been declining since 1965.) This kind of coalition of employees with their employers begs answers to two leading questions: 1) Who is deluded? and 2) What is the appropriate response to the social irony of people willing to sacrifice both wage...
