...continued to chat mechanically. I've learned how to do that with her. I can think about things. Johnson's boy said his patrol caught a young Vietnamese girl smuggling information in a bamboo shoot inserted in her vagina. She was on the way to the Viet Cong. Gooks he calls them. The Gooks had just murdered some Christian missionaries, so there was considerable ill feeling at the time. His patrol raped the girl. Then they have some guy shove an M-16 up her vagina and keep his finger on the trigger. My wife works for planned parenthood...
...Moscow has offered the world a reasonably detailed-but doubtless in part self-serving-account. Both Moscow and Peking agree, however, that the violence along the Ussuri was for several hours as close to war as the two countries have come in the long succession of border incidents and shoot-outs since their ideological split in 1960.

While Mariner 6 sweeps over the equatorial regions of Mars, both cameras will shoot a series of 24 closeup pictures programmed to include areas of interest on the red planet: permanent and variable dark markings, "canals" and "oases," white markings on crater rims and other enigmatic features that have been seen through terrestrial telescopes or were...
...story," says Allen, in his raspy Ozark baritone. He bends over the victim. "Do you believe God can raise you up?" Weakly, evincing great pain, she answers. "Yes, I do believe." "Raise your hands to ward this woman and pray," he commands the crowd. Four thousand arms shoot into the air. In the back, a little man caresses his Bible. "Please, sweet Jesus. Please, Jesus," he repeats. As the people pray, Allen lays his hands on the victim. "Heal!" he cries. "Heal her wounds in the name of Jeee-uh-zuss!" Already, the crowd is murmuring "Thank you, Jesus...
