...says you can't go home again? Janis Joplin did it last week, and for her special effort won the prize-a flat tire-as the member of the class of '60 who had come the farthest for the reunion (from San Francisco to Port Arthur, Texas).

Vietnam is just another port, with $56 extra a month as hazardous duty pay and stops on the way in Rio de Janiero and Tokyo, where the buys on cameras and women and dope and stereo equipment are really fantastic.
