...enough red ration stamps for steak, Zephyr fretfully asked Nellie Connally, wife of Texas' Governor John Connally, who was then a naval officer, what she should tell Johnson.

"Zephyr thought a moment and then said, 'Well, Mrs. Connally, you know he is like everybody else, and I know he is like everybody else, but I'm not going to tell him he is like everybody else.'

Plagued by problems of supply and outgunned by the U.S. response, which daily included at least 5,000 artillery shells and 1,000 tons of bombs dropped from B-52s, the North Vietnamese, at least for the moment, drastically reduced their barrage.

Next morning two men (Tony Beckley and Norman Rodway) arrive, ostensibly to check the gas meter. A moment later, one of them brandishes a switchblade knife and suddenly gives the tryst a dreadful twist. Introducing themselves as Tom and Dick-Harry, they giggle, is waiting downstairs-the men truss Morgan with ribbons, and force Kendall to down tumblers of Johnnie Walker and puff on a marijuana joint. Then, mind-blown and stoned, she is twice raped...
