...when ARVN was good, it was very, very good. At Dong Ha, a town of rude wooden shacks and prosperous brick houses ten miles south of the DMZ on the banks of the Cua Viet River, one vital North Vietnamese objective was spiked by the tanks of the tough 20th Armored Squadron. As the Communist spearhead rolled south on Highway 1, the 34-ton M-48s of the 20th sped north. They met-and stopped-the Communist armor a scant 300 yards north of the Cua Viet bridge. The tankers and two companies of South Vietnamese marines held the bridge...
...that students who were putting up posters protesting his "theories" refused to take them down!), who publishes a dangerous article in a mass-circulation magazine that also refuses to allow opposing view to have equal coverage--to claim that this man's "academic freedom" has been violated by rude students and that their academic freedom should therefore be taken away, well this seems like pure double-think to me.

Her busy evenings out (working for N.O.W.) bothered him for a while: "It was a rude shock to me how it felt to be home alone at night . . .

On several of the evenings Barbara is home, Maurice must vanish-she runs a consciousness-raising session there, and men are forbidden. "Sometimes," he says, "it makes me feel like a stranger in my own house." Barbara has a few reservations...
...There is a revealing anecdote widespread in Israel about a young Israeli child who when told by his father about the horrors of the Holocaust, asked incredulously, "But why didn't the Jews kill the Nazis with their Uzzis? (submachine guns)" If at times the Israelis seem abrupt, almost rude to the do-gooders who would advise them on how to wage their peace or their war, it is because they are not at all the same Jews who walked off to slaughter acquiescently, as the now-selfrighteous world stood silent and did nothing; rather these are Jews with guns...
