...three bodies, their shrouds torn off, their makeshift graves defiled. In the village, after the slaughter, the soldiers carry Vietnamese children on their shoulders -- G.I. Joes, big brothers to the kids whose village they have just destroyed -- and the soldier who bashed a man's head takes a tourist snapshot of the holocaust. More than any other film, Platoon gives the sense -- all five senses -- of fighting in Viet Nam. You can wilt from the claustrophobic heat of this Rousseauvian jungle; feel the sting of the leeches as they snack on Chris' flesh; hear all at once the chorus...
...front page stories details the tactics American commandos use against Qaddafi: ordering him 25,000 pizzas with anchovies and leaving a burning bag of dog droppings on his doorstep. Lampy's USA Snapshot explains that 18 percent of "us" love "our" country because "our" women have large breasts...

In Tokyo, 92,000 people showed up to catch a glimpse or a snapshot of the royal couple's motorcade. Diana, who left a wake of look-alike haircuts wherever she went, participated in a tea ceremony, donned an elegant kimono in Kyoto and attended a sumo-wrestling match. As always, Charles scored points for his unstiff reserve, but the irrepressible Diana...
