This Indian's people, the Santo Domingo tribe of the Pueblo, one of 19 Pueblo tribes in the state, had been buzzed during an important dance by a low-flying photographer from up the road in Santa Fe. In another day, some of the more outraged Pueblo might have divided him into several parts. In these litigious times, they sued for $3.65 million. How quaint the tale appeared from afar. (Damages?

In the raid on the poorly defended U.S. embassy in Saigon, they embarrassed and discomfited the U.S., still coping with the stinging humiliation of the Pueblo incident. They succeeded in demonstrating that, despite nearly three years of steady allied progress in the war, Communist commandos can still strike at will virtually anywhere in the country...
