Though the marquees scream about a VOLCANO OF SMOLDERING PASSION!, the view inside is little more than a Playboy peep show, less glossy but just as sexless. Lust is a popeyed man ogling a barmaid's cleavage, virginity a lacquered ex-stripper trying to look like a wide-eyed schoolgirl caught up in the evil ways of the big city.

Then all the other U.S. artillery bases within range will wheel their guns around to fire on Gio Linh itself in an attempt to blast the North Vietnamese right off the backs of the defenders...
...press agents were busy turning sporadic yells into the firm, rythmic roar you hear in propaganda films. Wherever there was a television camera, the press agents urged the girls to "scream now" and paid the lucky ones 25 dollars to faint on cue. When the Beatles finally arrived at the Plaza, the crowd charged and nearly killed the chauffeur and two doormen. The PR men sighed with relief.
