...allies waged a relentless two-prong attack-U.S. Marines southbound on the east, ARVN Marines headed the same way on the west. Clearing the way through the city's debris-covered avenues came U.S. tanks, their turret guns swiveling from side to side as if to sniff the air, then belching fire at the Citadel walls. Overhead, helicopters sprayed napalm across the ponds and courtyards of the Imperial Palace, and fighter-bombers blasted away at three main enemy positions. From below, out to sea, a U.S. cruiser kept shelling the Communists...
...liked to down their bitter in the chatty, relaxed atmosphere of the local pub. That is where they swallow more than four-fifths of the 20 gallons per head consumed annually, leaving the home in second rank as a place to drink. But Britain's new stop-and-sniff law, which went into effect Oct. 15, threatens to change all that.

Walking toward a car, followed by the camera, Harwick drops a liquor bottle...
...Heroic Sniff. With such encouragement, the Yemeni dissidents lost no time. Supported by Republican tribesmen called down to San'a from the hills, they moved four tanks into the city's dusty squares, took over the Presidential Palace and, in a matter-of-fact broadcast over the government radio station, announced that Sallal had been removed "from all positions of authority." Not a shot was fired; not a single Yemeni stood up to defend Sallal. In Baghdad, Sallal asked for political asylum, sniffing heroically that "every revolutionary must anticipate obstacles and difficult situations...
