...tickets-and to New York taxi drivers at that. With each pair of ducats went a letter from General Manager Ralph Houlc, 44, telling how the Yanks ("a great New York institution") wanted to "do something for another great New York institution."

A courageous but often inept commander, Kong Le fell back with his battered troops to Ban Na, on the southwestern edge of the plain. He managed to salvage ten tanks, but lost nine armored cars and four antiaircraft guns. All week long, small parties of neutralist troops made their way back through the hills to rejoin their commander. They reported that the Pathet Lao were aided...
