While the Harvard cheerleaders loll about on the sidelines doing push-ups when the Crimson scores, and the Harvard fans leisurely sip on their Scotch-and-waters, the Band vehemently eggs the Harvard charges onward with traditional cheers like "Shove that Ball" and "E to the x! dy! dx!/E to the y! dy!/cosine, secant, tangent, sine/three point one four one five nine/come on Harvard, give 'em the digit!" The latter cheer is called "Engineers...
...deft caricature of Lester Maddox as a bland, eupeptic nincompoop given to chats with God. Dressed in blue knee pants and jacket, a Buster Brown collar and a big red tie, Garner prances blithely across the stage, wagging his head, whistling his sibilants, letting his tongue loll inanely between parted lips. The portrayal produces whoops of delighted recognition from audiences, who know the original all too well...
...matter whom they may more or less resemble in life, author Daley's caricature creatures seem more like conventioneering Rotarians or stodgy minor bureaucrats than journalistic giants. Bureau chiefs loll about sidewalk cafés or tool around in chauffeurdriven limousines, rewriting local newspapers, and big-name correspondents interview one another over grog. The biggest fraud is Pettibon, "The Paper's" man in Paris.

He pretends fluent French and frets over whether his latest...

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. Twice the U.S.S. Kimbro set sail for Viet Nam from the Philippines, only...
