...Black soldiers at Con Thien grimace when whites call a Negro sergeant "brown boy" and a mongrel puppy "soul man." Base club operators who accept country and western but not soul music from their entertainers have paid a toll.

Deflowered Autos. Two months ago, after returning from his summit with Richard Nixon, Thieu again warned "socalled intellectuals" who dally with notions of coalition that they would be "punished severely."

The timing was as sequential as a mammoth string of Tet firecrackers going off one after the other...
...body weight in eight weeks at Mount Zion. His malnutrition is halted, the infection in his burns gone. Carefully engineered blood transfusions preceded a new round of skin grafts, this time successful. The virus-plagued knee cartilage is destroyed, but the joint will be fused; some day, Tran Huu Nhon will walk again in Viet...
