...before a rocket attack on the U.S. camp. "Someone knew those rockets were coming," says a commando, who cannot be named, like almost all the special-forces members who spoke to TIME for this story. For a base of its size, Camp Blessing is still tenaciously guarded. Observation posts lurk high on the ridges and are manned by Marines on 10-day tours. The Green Berets make sure their weapons-training sessions are loud and clear. "When the whole valley hears us firing 140 rockets in a day, they know we're not short of ammunition," says the team sergeant...
...it’s not just the lack of background, which I can always play off by smiling in appreciative ignorance and then swiftly changing the subject. There is always the fear that I won’t be able to lurk in my safe disguise of head-bobbing silence and that my true nature will be exposed. Then I’m screwed...
...does show some correlation. Since the Coolidge Administration (1923-29), according to The Stock Trader's Almanac, stocks have gained an average of 14.5% in year three of a presidency and 7.7% in year four vs. less than 6% in year one and year two.

Recognizing this, Standard Oil put him on other products, such as the auto additive Esso-lube. A Seussian creature would lurk on a car hood: Beware the "Moto-raspus"! Battle the "Karbo-nockus"! (Standard's oil to the rescue.) In a nod to dad, he also worked for Schaefer Beer; one cartoon had a stuffed moose head that comes to enthusiastic life when a waiter walks by with a bottle of Schaefer Bock Beer...
...many SNAFU cartoons, vigilance - a kind of protective paranoia - is the motto. "Spies" (directed by Jones for an August 1943 release) darkly suggests that German and Japanese agents lurk everywhere: in a baby carriage, a mailbox, a street lamp, a drain, a horse's head, inside a telephone. The antlers of two moose-head trophies, of the kind Geisel used for his Schaefer Beer ad, merge to form a swastika. A luscious babe SNAFU meets at a bar is seen noting his indiscretions on a tiny typewriter under the table; another babe's breasts are tape-recorder reels emblazoned with...
