...three food lines to serve more than 10,000 meals a day. Some 2,500 South Dakota National Guardsmen pitched into the rescue and cleanup operation. Airmen from Ellsworth Air Force Base directed traffic and drove emergency vehicles. Boy Scouts helped clean the main streets, picking up litter. The entire staff of South Dakota Governor Richard Kneip moved into the city to help. Indian tribes from as far away as California contributed aid to residents of Rapid City's Red ghetto along the Rapid Creek. The Mennonites dispatched a special disaster team...

The line stretched to the horizon, and so did its litter: helmets, full ammunition pouches, combat boots, web belts and packs. At the refugee-jammed city of Hué, 24 miles south of Quang Tri, the headlong retreat turned into a rampage. Soldiers who had not eaten in two days looted stores in broad daylight. By night, gangs of deserters started...
