Baggy Suits. Bailey decided after seeing peace demonstrations in the U.S. that he "was participating in murder" by assisting in the launching of air strikes from the carrier. Lindner, making the farfetched claim of having seen the flash of bombs dropping on North Viet Nam at night (carriers operate too far from the coast for crewmen to witness strikes), argued that the war was "immoral." Anderson urged others "to follow in our footsteps," said he did not believe the majority of pilots "were in favor of the war" but preferred to remain silent. Barilla declared that he was "against...

The crisis came instead deep in Viet Cong territory when he was cut off and surrounded, sure he was about to die. With luck, he got out alive and the go-go editors of the anti...
Regis Debray, the French intellectual who entered Bolivia under ambiguous circumstances (he says he was a journalist, but the Bolivian government is trying him for "treason, sedition, murder and other crimes") argues that the guerrilla bands form their own doctrine as they roam the countryside engaging the necessary loyalty of the peasantry as well as engaging government troops...
