Courageous Choice. On election day, 4.7 million South Vietnamese flocked to 8,800 red-and-yellow-bannered polling stations throughout the narrow nation.

What they saw was a Packer defense that kept Dallas' highly touted offense from scoring a touchdown - the first time that had happened in almost two years. The Packers crushed the Cowboys...
