...Chamber of Commerce come-on. The town bills itself as the "Home of the World's Largest Bass," and everywhere from the Dinner Bell Restaurant to Bass Galore Village ("Fishing Headquarters, U.S.A.") are mounted specimens to prove it. Up at Joe L. Cobb Inc., Realtors, Joe has a photograph on the wall memorializing the morning he and a friend boated 18 bass totaling 124 Ibs. in "2½ wild and wonderful hours."

Calley leaving the stockade. Private Eye, London's black-humor satirical review, ran a cover photograph of Charles Manson with the caption: "I should have joined the Army." In Saigon, the respected, generally critical newspaper Duóc Nhà Nam objected: "The Nixon decision tacitly acknowledged that the savage and mass killings of Vietnamese civilians was right.
