...began as an angry demonstration by leftist students at the University of Dhaka against the military regime of Lieut. General H.M. Ershad, 53. Shouting "Deception!" and "Food first, language second, generals last!" hundreds of students last week marched into the streets of Dhaka in open defiance of martial law: When the students ignored orders to return to the campus, police shot tear-gas canisters into the crowd, which was armed with bricks, hockey sticks and knives. Throughout the day, as fighting spread to other Bangladesh cities, bands of students continued guerrilla-style raids, beating civilians, burning shops and attacking buses...
Stage 9 of the 20th Century-Fox studios in Los Angeles is dark. The backdrop of khaki-drab Korean hills and everything that might serve as inventory, booty or memento have disappeared. Gone are the tables, tubing, clamps and surgical gowns from O.R.; neither the blandly frazzled Lieut. Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) nor the avuncular Colonel Sherman Potter (Harry Morgan) will preside any more over that surgeons' battlefield.

Complying at last, the Israeli, who was subsequently identified only as a Lieut. Colonel "Rafi," told Johnson, "One thing we don't want to do is shoot each other." Replied Johnson: "Yes, but if you keep doing things like this, the likelihood is going to increase...
Late one evening last November, former Green Beret Lieut. Colonel James G. ("Bo") Gritz, 44, led three fellow U.S. Army veterans and 15 Laotian guerrillas into Thailand in search of American soldiers listed as missing in action. The Defense Department, which knew of the plan, warned against it, and the unsanctioned commando raid turned up no Americans and no fresh information. Last week, however, the eagerness of Gritz's colleagues to tell their stories to Soldier of Fortune magazine, among others, did serve to embarrass their improbable group of backers and suppliers, who, it turns out, included Actors Clint...
