...from this sanctuary that the Communists masterminded a host of battles, including the recent assaults on camps at Bu Prang and Due Lap. Elements of the U.S. 4th Infantry Division and Saigon's 22nd Division are involved in the operation, which promises to be particularly arduous because wild terrain rules out anything but travel by foot. Like Bold Lancer, the exercise got off to a sputtering start; vicious ground fire pinned down the first troops to arrive, and an inexplicable shortage of helicopter fuel temporarily kept 1,000 men waiting for the jump-off in Viet Nam. After...
...here, he says; the other is over in Vietnam. "He's up in the DMZ, right now, flying helicopters." In my dreams I keep misplacing them. Nick the Helicopter pilot sweeps the hair out of his eyes, puffing dreamily on a joint, and releases forty rockets on the terrain below. Bhammm! every nerve in Jeff's body overloaded, exploded, curled and died, as the mescaline grains rushed .... But it's not true. Jeff strafes the Vietnamese. His brother Nick wakes up late.

We feel at home here more than they. Therefore, there is no reason why they should have the advantages that terrorists usually have. We have not managed to dismantle their organizations, but we have managed to keep them at a low level of activity...
...Latest victim of rising costs, declining patronage and the reluctance of railroads to promote passenger service, the train was, as one member of the Interstate Commerce Commission termed it, "a unique national asset." Rolling for 2,525 miles through some of the U.S.'s most scenic and historic terrain, the Cal Zephyr afforded a view of America which new generations, hurtling along billboarded freeways or locked inside pressurized plane cabins, may never see. With that in mind, Associate Editor Ray Kennedy and Correspondent Mark Sullivan recently rode the Cal Zephyr for one last look. Their report...
