...some 12,000 or more today. In deference to Thai touchiness (the kingdom has never known colonial rule), U.S. planes in Thailand do not operate out of "American" bases; technically, they are "stopovers" and no Americans other than couriers carry arms. But the three squadrons of U.S. Thunderchief and Phantom fighter-bombers that roar daily out of Korat for raids on North Viet Nam fly armed. Indeed, most U.S. strikes at the North are mounted in Thailand: another four U.S. attack squadrons are stationed at Thai airbases near Takhli and Ubon, while sleek RF-101 Voodoos fly from Udorn...
E.S.P. (Columbia). Miles Davis and his fine quintet in abstract musings of their own invention (Agitation by Davis, Iris by Tenor Saxman Wayne Shorter, Mood by Bassist Ronald Carter). Sometimes the drum, bass and piano drive the soloists, but mostly they provide only phantom rhythms under the fluid runs and fragmentary phrases of the trumpet and tenor sax. No one will be tempted to tap a foot or sing along, but few with any E.S.P. at all will stop listening...
Such statistics will soon seem modest, for more planes are on the way: last week two squadrons of sleek, barracuda-like F-4C Phantom fighter-bombers swooped down onto the new 10,000-ft. jet strip at Cam Ranh. A third squadron of the 1,500-m.p.h. fighter-bombers is now en route to South Viet Nam, as is an F-100 squadron, and by the end of next March Washington plans to double-to 1,200 planes-the strike force available to U.S. field commanders in the South...
...response to the government's recent disapproval of SDS's phantom draft policy, Booth complains that he has spent more time with television cameramen than working with SDS. "I wish the whole draft question had never been taken out of context," protested Booth. "All we want to do is ask each eligible young man whether he wants to kill instead of build; whether, in conscience, he finds the war in Vietnam immoral...
...prop-driven Skyraider, whose fond jockeys insist that it can fly home with nearly as much enemy lead in it as the four tons of bombs it can carry out, to the droop-nosed, brutal-looking ("It's so damn ugly it's beautiful") F-4B Navy Phantom, at 1,700 m.p.h. the fastest machine in the Vietnamese skies. Then there is the Navy's Intruder, a computer-fed, electronics-crammed attack ship that virtually flies itself once aloft...
