...Frankly, your article "Bathtub on Wheels" [Aug. 22] depressed me greatly. There seems to be an ever-growing group of American young men who simply regard our remaining wildlands as obstacle courses for their machines. Anyone hoping to escape the filth and din of cities for the quiet beauty of our woods, mountains or deserts is in for a rude shock. He is greeted by the rattling snarl of trail bikes, dune buggies and the like...
Covering North Viet Nam's Ho Chi Minh over the past 25 years has never been an easy journalistic assignment. Even the name is an alias. It translates as "he who enlightens," yet few Western news men have seen him, much less sat down for an interview.

The young men sent to the South, as U.S. fighting men have painfully discovered, made excellent soldiers. Tough and well-disciplined, they stood their ground under massive American firepower, then rose to charge. And the battlefield was only one test: the struggle southward along the tangle of jungle paths called the Ho Chi Minh Trail often lasted four to six months, during which many perished of disease, malnutrition...
