Gina Lollobrigida has joined the cast of Falcon Crest, and Ali MacGraw will appear on Dynasty later this season. Yvette Mimieux will star in a midseason show on NBC called Berrenger's, about a posh New York City department store similar to Bloomingdale's. And Angie Dickinson and Candice Bergen head...

Hilltop hopping by helicopter, other ARVN forces sought to cut off important enemy supply routes, chiefly Route 914, the last major supply road with a dense cover of foliage.
