...lunch of reasonably good taste and moderate expense try The Blue Parrot. The Parrot is a hang-out for artsy types who linger over their meals, and if you don't mind waiting for a table or sharing your table with an artsy type this is as nice a place as any to get a sandwich or a snack of cheese and crackers. The luncheon menu is varied--the offerings range from a simple BLT sandwich to Hungarian goulash. Beer and wine is served, but the coffees are your best bet.

Last week appeared a number called The Battle Is Over ("The battle is over/ We've laid down our guns./ And now we must linger/ To see what we've done..."). Written by Jim Siegling and Frank Larabee, the ditty was recorded by John Wagner, previously best known for a country and western tune called Little Bit Late. "To me this song really captures the mood of the country," said Wagner...
...Viet Nam War may be over for the U.S., but its errors and tragedies linger on. So do potential controversies, investigations, recriminations. They lie about like unexploded shells after a battle, to be detonated or defused according to public inclination...
