...what the Communists call "the special war," the Allies in a variety of ways monitor and attack the North Vietnamese operating in Laos. The trail runs through the portion of divided Laos that is largely controlled by the Communist Pathet Lao under Hanoi's tutelage, but Royal Laotian patrols infiltrate to report on trail traffic. From South Viet Nam come reconnaissance patrols of Vietnamese, Montagnard and Nung tribesmen, or of U.S. Special Forces led by local guides. Occasionally, when a Communist troop concentration is firmly fixed, South Vietnamese units as large as a company slip across for a swift...
...Snooping on each other is standard operating procedure for both the Russian and U.S. navies.

...punch line." For restraining himself, McMahon is well reimbursed. Just as Announcer Hugh Downs rose from the brow of Jack Paar to become a TV "personality" (Today, Concentration), McMahon is now a "star." He is host of his own daily daytime show, Snap Judgment, handles NBC's Monitor mike on Saturday afternoons, and plays "spokesman" for Budweiser beer.
