Before the U.S. buildup in Viet Nam was completed, the basic Communist strategy was hit-and-hide. But hiding is no longer enough; so wide-ranging is Allied surveillance and so swift U.S. response with air strikes, artillery and helilifted soldiers that few safe spots remain to the Communists in South Viet Nam. As a result, Hanoi's new commander in the field, Lieut. General Hoang Van Thai, has been forced to adopt a different strategy. U.S. analysts in Saigon have dubbed it the strategy of the periphery.

Stark says that Hornblower will probably start, but Goldberg should see at least as much action. Zimmerman, then, will be working with a fairly light and swift backfield (if Gatto's slight ankle injury doesn't slow him down too much...

The film's multipersonaed hero himself combines such disparate characters as Adam, Tristram and Jonathan Swift. Joyce believed that the pun is mightier than the word. His double-entendres are so arcane and gusty that the movie must print explanations below the image, making Finnegan one of the few films to employ English subtitles below English dialogue...
