David Baker is dazzling as the Ironshirt sergeant, He comes on like Mick Jagger (with a little more sadism and a little less swish), bare-chested, sinewy, undulating for nookie (preferably Grusha's, but any will do).

When another patient told him, "I don't feel I should be here," Agnew paused and replied in a whisper, "We all want to get it over with." Later, he expressed enthusiasm about the progress of the war. "The most significant thing to me," he told reporters, "was the way the ARVN are working with the U.S. forces. I'm really encouraged...
...panic from their natural enemy. Last November only nine bustards were sighted, compared with the 10,415 that stymied operations in November 1967 before the arrival of the hawks. As a result, De la Fuente has returned to his wildlife research, leaving the twice-daily hawk patrols to Technical Sergeant Robert O. Collum, who now has one of the strangest jobs in the U.S. armed services...
