Dauntless Hangover. Initially, at least, heroism leaves a hangover of dauntlessness. Most of the wounded men insisted-some for as long as two days -that they could return to their units immediately. When a doctor told one man with a missing toe that his leg would not have to be amputated, the soldier smiled. "Great," he said. "I can go right back to my squad." Almost all of the victims were able to toss off nonchalant quips about their plight. In a Danang hospital, an interviewer asked an amputee what had happened to him. "Some bastard stepped on a mine...
Military analysts are just beginning to examine the raw data collected in the study, but the realization that a bit of the hero lurks in every man still amazes the Viet Nam interviewers. Says one veteran Marine sergeant who talked to 200 wounded men: "We had seen this kind of behavior in the movies, and we were trained to do it. I had always thought it was the exception.

A really sharp spectator will look the girl straight in the eye and natter on into the night about urban renewal, air pollution and go-go mutual funds. Sooner or later, he will bore her into looking away long...
Unusual as it was, the case was by no means unprecedented. The same magistrate, who had become aware of the blasphemy statute only a few months earlier, had' already fined at least three other men on similar charges. Supported by the American Civil Liberties Union, West decided to appeal. On the basis of his arguments, Circuit Court Judge Edward Weant Jr. has now ruled that Maryland's law is unconstitutional because it violates the free-speech and establishment-of-religion clauses of the First Amendment...
