...There are now four North Vietnamese divisions in the Central Highlands. Thieu met secretly in the coastal city of Nha Trang on March 14 with Lieut. General Pham Van Phu, commander of Military Region II. The President decided to take the most drastic of steps-strategic retreat. The four ranger groups defending Kontum were shifted southeast to the coastal province of Phu Yen, to be followed a few days later by the 1,200-truck refugee convoy from Pleiku...
...more strength than skill, a wide berth wherever he skates. More often than not, it is a Flyer who comes out of a corner melee with the puck.

...impact on contemporary comedy and social criticism. Although he performed over twenty years ago, his ideas and even snatches of his routines still appear in plays, movies, articles, and even Harvard Band half-time shows. Lenny's style is blunt, even callous, creating outlandish imaginary situations: the Lone Ranger becomes a lonely homosexual who can't accept gratitude; Adolf Hitler is reduced to a house painter, cast as the Fuhrer by ambitious producers. His delivery is equally abrupt--he bends words, runs phrases together and throws away punch lines like a jazz musician improvising a solo...
