Prowling along the coastal plains of Quang Tin province some 40 miles south of Danang, the 400 U.S. Marines found their prey just before noon one day last week: some 2,000 Communists of the North Vietnamese 2nd Division...
...Wild Goose II, Wayne's 130-ft. converted Navy minesweeper. The Goose is a substitute for riding, which he has had to give up on doctor's orders, except while filming. He still goes after marlin off Baja California, hunts deer in the Sierras. His other prey and preoccupation is Communist expansion. He was a prime mover of the old anti-left Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American I deals. Today, his cause is Viet Nam.

Invalid takes off after doctors and their gullible patients with a Shavian vengeance. But Molière's prey is not his purpose. Like all masters of high comedy, he essentially diagnoses man's incurable diseases-vanity, pretension and folly. The bell-capped revelers of the N.R.T. are blind to this underlying gravity...
