...customary silence since the arrests? Apparently out of pique at the Army. CIA men in Saigon reportedly asked General Abrams to explain publicly that the agency was not involved in the killing of Chuyen; Abrams refused.

To help remedy this, Woodford bought a lady's wig, trimmed it down to a respectable male length, ran that ad in the underground Times and discovered a need for his product...

Hydrologist is next, on the lead, and Cordero has set his horse down for a strong hand ride, the reins loose. Distray, a length off the leader, is being asked for some run by Rotz.
