...those who cared, which did not seem to be many, the epitaph to the U.S. bombing of Cambodia was audible over ordinary radios in Phnom-Penh. As the last curl of smoke disappeared and the final whine of the aircraft faded, a U.S. command plane could be heard talking with its spotter planes and jet fighter-bombers on a regular VHP frequency. "It's really been good working with you," a voice crackled. "Yeah," went the reply. "See you in the next war." Then came the muffled sound of a harmonica playing Turkey in the Straw, followed by silence...
...contributed so much repose to the mind of man this side of the Pacific." At a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, the 100-member J.M.A.S. sponsored an anniversary service for Marilyn in strictly Buddhist style. In the main hall there were the usual representations of the Buddha, curling smoke from incense bars and deep-throated chanting of sutras by a monk with a drinking party later.

But whether Nixon was "leading" Dean on with his questions and trying "to smoke him out" to see how guilty he might be, as Haldeman implied, or was approvingly going over the cover-up details, as Dean suggested, would seem open to each listener's interpretation...
...older generation, the Summer Jam tapped a widespread desire to return to the uninhibited atmosphere of the campus, to create a vast, congenial party atmosphere with none of the negative overtones of rock's erratic past. Most of the kids just wanted to lie back in the grass, smoke dope, drink wine and be free of worry about being busted-or about being harassed by any adult authority. Then, too, many of them were younger brothers and sisters of the Woodstock generation, eager to live up to the stories they have heard for years about that great communal event...
