Ideal for Tanks. Strong words? Consider: a magazine recently advertised replicas of the derringer pistol as the dandy little model that killed "two of our country's Presidents, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley."

In Grand Rapids, he reads a letter sent by a G.I. who died in Viet Nam: "Don't worry about me, Momma, all the Viet Congs in the world couldn't keep me from coming home...
