...Ugly Dachshund is actually a Great Dane pup named Brutus. Hubby Dean Jones surreptitiously plants Brutus in a litter of "dachsies" belonging to Wife Suzanne Pleshette, who refers to herself and the little darlings as "I and the girls." Any other movie would proceed at once to the indicated psychoanalysis, but Walt Disney prefers to describe how Brutus devastates the household and resolves his identity crisis by winning Best of Breed in the dog show. Such comedies as this one are too wholesome for kids, too foolish for dog fanciers, and a sure way to persuade young adults that movies...
...brass only-majors and up!"). The film's most blistering episode concerns an anguished soldier's pet dog, condemned to death for killing a chicken. Later, the King invites his cronies to a stew dinner, prods the disgusted men into gulping down their consciences along with the pup...
...Pup Tents. Around South Viet Nam's four present jet fields-Danang, Chu Lai, Bien Hoa and Saigon-are clustered most of the rest of the U.S. presence in Viet Nam. On the "hot pads" at the runway ends of each stand the silver planes, bombs aboard, on phased alert: the first wave is on five-minute call, the next on 15-minute call, then a group on 30-minute call, finally a wave on an hour's notice.

Most of the 173rd Airborne and Big Red One troops at Bien Hoa now have hot meals and floors under their tents...
...something happened on the way to Phase 3. The skies indeed opened up - and rained napalm, machine-gun bullets and Bull-Pup missiles from U.S. fighter-bombers, which by last week were flying over 400 lethal sorties a day. No weather could hide the Viet Cong from the radar eyes of the Guam-based B-52s and their pulverizing 750-and 1,000-lb. bombs. And by the tens of thousands each week, U.S. fighting men swarmed into Viet Nam (total at the end of last week: 128,000), first to relieve the pressure on Vietnamese troops, then...
