Even usually optimistic Premier In Tam candidly allowed that the military situation was going "from bad to worse." Villagers flee devastated hamlets as American warplanes drone overhead.

He is squeezing the hand of his girl friend, a teased blonde in a Day-Glo orange pantsuit and sequined glasses, carrying a suitcase-size black patent leather handbag and a bag of candy.
