...gunner in "Leatherneck Square" adjoining the DMZ. Lance Corporal Coats no longer remembers the date when he was wounded more precisely than "the last couple of days in May 1968." "We'd just cleared a bunker complex and were stationary. Early in the afternoon, a barrage came in. A rocket round hit about 15 feet from me and a fragment got me in the right buttock, right on the sciatic nerve...
...sophomore year, Dartmouth was unbeaten as usual, but Harvard had Rocket Rod Foster at QB. Early in the first quarter. Foster dropped back, spotted a wide-open receiver, and threw the ball into the stands. Dartmouth won again, 49-14.

The cowboys are Relief's ingredient Sooth-X, and they got into the ad by decisively defeating little airplanes, tigers, rocket ships and genies in consumer testing reports. Brice's goal is to replace Gibbs & Wilson's list of luxury clients with packaged-goods industry giants. "Why, a friend of mine at Procter & Gamble told me I was taking over a zoo," he complains, shortly thereafter locking recalcitrant animals...
