Aircav Commander Major General John Norton quickly picked it up. Pulling his heli-borne cavalrymen out of three-week-old Operation Thayer five miles away, he dropped a 29-man Blue Team near the downed choppers. Within hours, in fierce fighting, often in chest-deep water, the Blues had killed 91 of the enemy. Some 70 of them turned out to be from the Aircav's old foe in previous Binh Dinh battles: the North Vietnamese 610th Sao Vang (Yellow Star) Division. With the Sao Vang as quarry, Operation Washington Irving rapidly mounted in scale. A large force from...
...good deal different, but Gleason's new Honeymooners is a lot better-better, in fact, than any other comedy series on the air. Dressed up now and then with music and dancing, the adventures of gullible Brooklyn Bus Driver Ralph Kramden (Gleason) and goofy Sewer Worker Ed Norton (Art Carney) rock with a screwball spontaneity that puts the team in a class with the Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy.

Chinese-manufactured machine guns line the walk leading to Air Cav Major General John Norton's headquarters located near An Khe, a proud display of hard-won enemy weaponry. Air Cav troopers, using the strategy of General Custer's day, have struck swiftly and destructively at the enemy's food supplies: more than 1,000,000 Ibs. of rice have been systematically...
...week business was booming in An Khe Plaza, the sanitary "Sin City" that houses bars and brothels under strict Army medical supervision (TIME, May 6). Highway 19, the east-west road that was once controlled by Communist ambushes, is now open all the way from Qui Nhon. In General Norton's tidy mess on "the Hill," a high-rise hummock that houses division headquarters, officers show up at dinner in gleaming boots and bright, gold-and-black scarves-the colors...
