When the Geneva accords established Laotian neutrality seven years ago, hope flickered briefly that they would also bring an end to fighting between Communist and non-Communist forces and take the kingdom out of the cold war. No such thing happened, of course: the treaty-stipulated tripartite regime, composed of rightist, neutralist and leftist factions, collapsed in short order. Laos' Communists, the Pathet Lao, walked out of the government; the fighting resumed, and has been going on in desultory if often deadly fashion ever since...
This time, however, the old seasonal formula no longer worked. Despite the rains and monsoon-swept lines of communication, seven North Vietnamese battalions, backed by ten Soviet-built light tanks, fell on Muong Soui in late June, catching the garrison completely off guard. U.S. airpower was not enough to stop the Communists. For a while, the government's defenders held onto a new position on Route 7, but were pushed out again after losing all of their big guns. Five days after the battle began, the Laotians evacuated Muong Soui. Later efforts to retake it failed...

Starting with acute abdominal pain, weakness of the limbs and the classic discolored urine, his symptoms progressed through insomnia, headache and restlessness to delirium, convulsions and stupor. Even after his condition improved, George suffered periods during which his doctors said "wrong ideas" took hold of him. In 1810, he became so ill that he was incapacitated for the rest of his life, and his son, as Prince Regent...
