Anyway, Green Berets should be good for recruiting. Moore's Special Forces men seem to spend little time on the humdrum public health and education programs and antiguerrilla training that are among the SF's major responsibilities. Instead, they recruit pretty girls to lure Viet Cong officers to their bedrooms-to be captured, naked and panting, by the SF. They hire Cambodian bandits to ambush Viet Cong units in Cambodia, train Meo tribesmen to fight against the Communist Pathet Lao in neutral Laos...

At Columbia, more than 300 students from 15 law schools attended the council's first big meeting. In Washington, Students Hirschkop (now a Virginia lawyer handling a key miscegenation case) and Richard Granat (Columbia...
...week's end there was still no response from the royalist side. Undismayed, Noman continued his gentle pressure on the combatants, trying to establish some unity on the fractured republican side, holding out the carrot of Egyptian troop withdrawals to the royalists. As an added inducement to lure the Imam out of his cave and to the conference, Noman announced that he personally would head the republican delegation at Khamir-leaving the hated President Sallal behind...
