At a ship's party in Guam, the skipper ordered Generous to sit cross-legged at his feet, and had another officer roll up his trouser legs and act as a "pompom girl."

The network, which stretches from the marshlands of the Mekong Delta into the bloodied hills of the Central Highlands, is believed to support six regiments of North Vietnamese regulars as well as innumerable Viet Cong guerrillas-a total of up to 20,000 men who are kept busy raiding and reconnoitering along the border.
