...your picture caption "Inchon landing, October 1950: Will history repeat?": Hank Walker, who risked his neck to get the picture, and the late meticulous planner, General Douglas Mac-Arthur, who risked his reputation in carrying out the landing, would be pained indeed at your arbitrary postponement of the event. September 15, 1950, was the only date within months when the enormous tides at Inchon, some 36 feet from ebb to flood, crested sufficiently to permit the landing to be made-successfully, as this former Marine can gratefully attest from firsthand experience...

In The Hours After Noon, a genteel French lecher, visiting an archaeological camp, gestures toward a Moroccan girl and ends up behind a boulder with a wire around his neck. In The Garden, a wife puts a potion in her husband's food because she thinks he has been hiding treasure in the garden; when the poison fails to work, the whole town combines to finish him off with hoes and sickles...
