...political Buddhists were on the march again in South Viet Nam. Snaking in a two-mile procession through Saigon, militant Thich Tri Quang and some 700 saffron-and-grey-robed monks and nuns, their little paper fans fluttering like butterflies in the noonday sun, trekked to the Presidential Palace. It was Tri Quang's first head-on attack on the South Vietnamese government since Premier Nguyen Cao Ky put down the Buddhist insurrection in Danang and Hué in the spring of 1966.

A rookie, Scott hit a lot of home runs in the spring. Did this make him just a promising rookie? No. It made him God. Day after day, a George Scott story was as regular a feature in the paper as the television listing. WILL GEORGE SCOTT BREAK BABE'S RECORD? INTERVIEW WITH GEORGE'S FIRST GRADE TEACHER.
