...interstate highways, and food, comfort, companionship are served up in its buildings, the truck stops near the exits. Its citizens are all-night drivers, the truckers and the waitresses at the stops. In daylight the city fades and blurs when the transients appear, tourists who merely want a meal and a tank of gas. They file into the carpeted dining rooms away from the professional drivers' side, sit at the Formica tables set off by imitation cloth flowers in bud vases. They eat and are gone, do not return.

Invited by the Department of Defense, which frequently asks National Guard units to assist in maneuvers, the reservists flew down to play the bad guys in the second stage of the three-month-long joint operation. With 17 tanks and 17 armored personnel carriers, they staged a mock assault on a Honduran hilltop position, sweeping toward the encampment in a 4 1/2-mile-wide front while Honduran warplanes darted overhead...
