...Pointer who commanded all Special Forces in Viet Nam, was being held in a house trailer. The seven other accused Green Berets were confined in small, metal-roofed rooms at the infamous Long Binh jail, noted for riots and p.o.w.-like conditions. There they were allowed only one exercise period a day and subjected to repeated interrogation. At least one officer has gone through several "strip searches," in which the prisoner is required to take off all his clothes for minute examination...

Thus the factions agreed to unite behind the Mob's modern founding father, Salvatore Maranzano...
...have, I must confess, serious doubts about the efficacy--or even the integrity--of the "classic" exam-period editorial, "Beating the System." I almost suspect this "Donald Cars--well'50" of being rather one of Us--The Bad Guys--than of You. If your readers have been following Mr. Cars well's advice for the last eleven years, then your readers have been going down the tubes. It is time to disillusion...
