...Force 1st Lieut. James A. Cullen of Winchester, Mass., could hardly have been in a tighter spot. Hit by Viet Minh gunners during a bombing run over Quangkhe during last week's raids, Cullen bailed out of his F-100 Super Sabre into the Gulf of Tonkin-and practically into the midst of a flotilla of armed Communist junks and torpedo boats. Muzzles flashing, the Red vessels sped toward Cullen as he desperately sought cover behind his life raft. Said he: "I thought I was finished...
...pilots downed during the week's raids, the only one still missing at week's end was 1st Lieut. Hayden J. Lockhart Jr., who was seen parachuting into the southwest corner of North Viet Nam after his Super Sabre was hit by ground fire. U.S. reconnaissance jets flew over the area daily, taking photographs and listening for radio signals, while rescue choppers made risky low-level runs. On several occasions, the choppers drew fire from Viet Minh patrols in the area-an indication that the Communists too might be looking for Lieut. Lockhart...
...last week's renewed aerial action, a Huskie helicopter was whirring over the Gulf of Tonkin in search of Cul len when Vietnamese 1st Lieut.

Krulak and his staff began planning the exercises in September, finished with a four-inch-thick "script" that covered the histories of the make-believe countries, the developing political situations there, and the events that led to the Lancelotians' request for U.S. military aid. Also in the script: 2,000 "incidents," or problems, with which Krulak wanted his people encumbered, such as the pesky natives on the beach, a Lancelotian request for school textbooks, a native...
Twitch of Vertigo. The volunteers and their medic, Lieut. Frederick R. Deane, entered the spin room on Feb. 8, when it started to turn at a lethargic 2 r.p.m. The pace was stepped up by easy stages to 10 r.p.m. Dr. Deane has spent most of his nights "ashore," while another medic took over; but the four volunteers, aged 17 to 19, have had no break in their routine. Though the room is painted the restful apple green of hospital corridors, it has no windows. Despite its homey appurtenances which include pictures of girl friends, a sink, stove, refrigerator...
