...author of the letter, PFC David D. Jankow, said that the military is doing "little, if anything" to find a cure for the disease cited as an obstacle to the dogs' return...
...have died violently, Says Wardell Sellers, a rifleman from New York: "They were trying to help the brothers-you can see what that got them." Now many blacks see the case of Edward Kennedy as a plot to remove one more hope. "Just like King and Bobby Kennedy," says Pfc. Carl Horsley, 19, "They gon' try to hang Teddy 'cause he was on the side of the brothers." To most black soldiers, Nixon doesn't even bear discussion.

Two companies of "aggressors," dropped by parachute, endured the equivalent of -175° F. as they hit the icy prop wash of their aircraft. But the cold was no deterrent to the paratroopers. Mushing ten miles on skis through deep powder snow at 53 below zero, dragging their survival kits on Ahkio sleds, 16 troopers pulled off a brilliant nighttime surprise attack on the headquarters of Brigadier General John...
