...girl named Nguyen Thi Nga, which means "Moon Fairy." She and two friends had been making themselves lovable around the U.S. officers' mess at Soctrang Airbase, which they planned to blow up with plastic bombs fitted into talcum powder cans. The Viet Cong run a sweeping intelligence network by means of Saigon's myriad bar girls, also have agents working in most of the U.S. military installations around the country. One knowledgeable observer estimates that at least half of the female help employed at Danang also work for the Viet Cong. Though the V.C. often encourage wives...
Refreshing Behind. To make way for all the warmed-over Bewitched, Bonded and otherwise bewildered spin-offs of spinoffs, 31 last-season shows had to go. And with one eye fixed on the ratings, network executives guillotined a number of old standbys. Mr. Ed has finally closed his trap. Jack Benny will have no regular show for the first time since he started on radio 33 years ago. Neither will Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Paar, Bing Crosby or Joey Bishop.

Sarnoff also makes it clear, sometimes inadvertently, that Sage was a liar, a swindler, and a vivid illustration of that cliché about the desire for money being the root...
...About to Throw Up." One hard day's night over the whole CBS network last week, the big-beat spectacular happened just the way Murray planned it. A breakneck succession of 23 Scopi-tone-like acts in 90 minutes. A bill reading like Billboard's "Hot 100" and sounding, to adults, like 76 air hammers. The Ronettes playing stickball on Manhattan's Mott Street. Little Anthony and the Imperials mock-"bopping" on the stage of the Brooklyn Fox. Gary Lewis and the Playboys blowing up a squall on the beach at California's Abalone Cove...
