...more honest than the genteel men. It is from the women that we learn that Harry burned down a building, and that Jack followed little girls. Spouting giggles at Harry's unintentional double-entendres and leaning coquettishly on his arm, Kathleen clearly likes the shy, wistful man; perhaps Marjorie, sour and blunt, finds Jack attractive as well. the relationship cannot develop.

But whatever the war does to the American people cannot be compared to the incredible level of suffering which it imposes on the Vietnamese. And yet it is only to the American people, not to the Vietnamese, that the American government has to be responsible; the Americans, not the Vietnamese, are the only ones who have an influence powerful enough to force the U.
