...famous War in Vietnam, and we take various kinds of dope, and most of all we are full of energy and idealism. Yes. Of course, at times our zeal is misdirected (as, alas was Hitler's).

A quart of V.S.O.P. cognac, $5 at Ireland's Shannon airport, costs $6.30 at Paris' Orly. In Belgrade, a bottle of "Manastrika" slivovitz is $2.50 at the airport and $1.50 in town. Thousands of passengers eagerly buy watches at Swiss airports, where they are not duty-free and cost about 10% more than at downtown watchmakers. German-made cameras, tape recorders...
