...wants his help as well. At Phuoc Vmh, a black 1st Cavalry trooper recently dragged a wounded white from a rocketed hootch when no other black or white dared to venture in. A black Navy medic who had been in Viet Nam only two weeks fell on a grenade near Danang to save a white Marine and lost his own life. When black Lieut. Archie Bigger was three times wounded capturing enemy artillery pieces, eleven whites held, him aloft above the suffocating napalm smoke until a rescue chopper arrived.

With or without the additional planes, Israel is certain to step up its anticipatory counterattacks, particularly to relieve the pressure on the so-called Bar-Lev defense line near the Suez Canal. One object of last week's raid, for example, was to provoke Nasser into shifting southward some of the 80,000 men he has along the canal, but he is unlikely to do so.

In the three-room Manhattan headquarters of the shop he calls Maddick* Manuscripts, the tape machines whir and the typewriters maintain a near-constant staccato. Some of the diaries now in the early stages have been subcontracted to friends like LIFE'S Steve Gelman and Harper's Magazine Editor Willie Morris, allowing Schaap more time to juggle phone calls and pursue other projects. For example: a golf and repartee match between Kramer, Beard, DeBusschere...
