Myra was a proud, slender woman and a talented cook-her clam chowder, beef stew and soda bread were locally celebrated-who had worked as a domestic before her marriage. O'Brien Sr. was a scrappy redhead, and an up-and-coming real estate operator. By the time young Larry was born, his father owned a string of drab roominghouses, an insurance business and the Roland...

The I.C.C. commandeered the best quarters in Vientiane. Some of the Indian commissioners refused to bathe in anything but soda water, presumably on the ground that Laotian water was full of parasites. Headed from 1955-57, as now, by Samarendranath Sen, an urbane Indian career civil servant, the commission rarely investigated government charges of Pathet Lao raids because of Sen's fear that this would only "antagonize" both sides...
