Since Cambodia's Sihanouk now offers the Reds active support, he is risking a widening of the war. If the Communist monsoon offensive is to be checked before the rains come, both trails must be severed-or at least heavily interdicted-before they join up in a ribbon of men and supplies that cannot be cut. Though there is no indication that the U.S. will cease to respect Sihanouk's phony neutrality, his policy inevitably carries with it the chance that more and more of the bullets of war will spill over into Cambodia itself...

When the two pieces were inserted in a typewriter or Teletype machine, the force of the keys hitting the top sheet broke the capsules, releasing the chemicals they contained.

His severed right foot hung by a ribbon of skin and other tissues; its two major arteries had been cut. By the time he was carried to Oakland's Highland Hospital, his bloodless leg was a deathly white, mottled with blue. Amputation seemed unavoidable. But Larsen was a young giant (then 22) in top physical condition, and a team of surgeons headed by Dr. Walter...
