Predictably, not everyone behaved so nobly. At Walpole State Prison outside Boston, 320 maximum-security prisoners went on a mindless rampage that cost $75,000 in damage, took four hours, 100 state troopers and clouds of tear gas to quell. But many rumors of criminal behavior turned out to be false...

When the Airborne moved in, they carried tear gas-to protect the innocent as well as to flush the V.C. out of their tunnels-and promptly used it. Recently added to the U.S. military's growing armory of sophisticated anti-insurgent weaponry: the "Mighty Mite," a 50-lb. blower used in home fumigation Stateside, and able...
