...into the building, allowing him to watch the twelve white and 39 Negro prisoners-some of them "close custody" convicts who must be guarded at all times. When one prisoner, following standard practice, asked permission to leave his bunk for the bathroom, Lovett thought nothing about it. The next moment a riot erupted-or in Dixie parlance, a "ruckus." Normally, it involves some shouting and vandalism to let off steam. In this case, it killed...
...Infantry Division, the lead chopper spotted a small group of Viet Cong on a heavily wooded hillside in Binh Dinh province, halfway down the coast of South Viet Nam. Before the V.C. could flee, it unleashed a stream of yellow and red tracer shells into their midst.

All have a perverse way of intruding into the music at precisely the "wrong moments"--as if any moment would not be the wrong moment! Last night's audience even had the benefit of hearing an automobile horn anticipate the solo violin by sounding precisely the same "A" with which it was to enter a few second later...
