Typically plotless, Ohayo derives theme, story and soul from the easy rhythm of middle-class existence. If it has heroes, they are two ebullient rebel schoolboys (Koji Shidara, Masahiko Shimazu), whose chief concerns are watching TV at the home of disreputable neighbors ("who loll around the house in Western-style nightgowns," a mother complains), resisting parental authority in any form, or eating pumice stone because they believe it helps them to break wind voluntarily, an achievement esteemed by their peers. The boys' innocent vulgarity is rooted in a world of gossipy housewives, aged parents clinging to tradition, working fathers...
...officer puts it, "kept us in essentially a defensive position." At the 1st Air Cav's giant enclave at An Khe, Jeeps and trucks are only driven when absolutely necessary. The division is short of gas, while two huge ocean-going tankers loll in the Saigon River waiting to be unloaded. Last month the marines at Danang ran out of mosquito spray in the midst of a malarial epidemic that has forced the evacuation of 800 infected servicemen: 37,500 gallons were borrowed from other bases.

Not only are most of Watts's pillaeed stores still closed, but the slum is still without a single restaurant, bowling alley, roller rink or movie theater (the nearest cinema is a 60?, four-mile round-trip bus ride away). Men loll in clusters on front porches drinking Colt .45 beer. When a white man passes, a lanky teen-ager taunts him: "Better not be here at 5. That's when the riot's gonna start all over again." A police car drives by, and no one on the sidewalk...
...cylindrical room at the Pensacola Naval Air Station was spinning around at ten revolutions per minute all last week. Inside it, along with a medical officer, were four young volunteer enlisted men who seemed to have nothing more serious to do than loll around in shorts and T shirts, watch TV, phone girl friends downtown, play catch with a tennis ball or toss darts...
