...husband and to guarantee legitimacy to the resultant offspring. In Hawaii, where Oahu once had only two-fifths of the state's senators, though it had four-fifths of the population, a reapportioned senate (giving Oahu 19 of 25 seats) helped enact 20 consumer-protection bills and a traffic-safety measure. Throughout the Deep South, Daylight Saving Time is no longer rejected in favor of "God's time." Even in Tennessee, where it used to be a misdemeanor punishable by a $500 fine and ten days in jail to display a clock with Daylight Time, clocks have been...
Company Strikes. Some 5,000 to 8,000 men a month go down the network of trails to fight in South Viet Nam, though of late the traffic has largely been in supplies. To keep the roads open under the daily bombing, Hanoi employs a large assortment of heavy earth-moving equipment at night, plus the labor of some 40,000 coolies. An estimated 5,000 trucks ply the trail, but bicycles and even elephants are also used. Some 25,000 North Vietnamese troops are stationed in Laos to guard the vital Red flow southward. Where traffic is heaviest...
...Allies in a variety of ways monitor and attack the North Vietnamese operating in Laos. The trail runs through the portion of divided Laos that is largely controlled by the Communist Pathet Lao under Hanoi's tutelage, but Royal Laotian patrols infiltrate to report on trail traffic. From South Viet Nam come reconnaissance patrols of Vietnamese, Montagnard and Nung tribesmen, or of U.S. Special Forces led by local guides. Occasionally, when a Communist troop concentration is firmly fixed, South Vietnamese units as large as a company slip across for a swift, unpublicized strike. But the main job of harassment...
Minding the Trail. The Allied and Laotian operations against the trail slow but cannot stop the Communist traffic into South Viet Nam. Inevitably, the U.S. has weighed more drastic measures, and in fact has drawn up a three-option contingency plan. In one version, U.S. troops would be helilifted in and out of Laos in rapid, frequent strikes against the trail. Another calls for the insertion of a sizable U.S. force, at least two divisions, into Laos to block the trail physically. The final and most far-out plan envisions a massive U.S. troops barrier drawn along the 17th parallel...
Chafed Elbows is also an experiment in visual humor. Downey uses still pictures for more than half the movie, treating the frozen action as a cartoon. Dinsmore is on a roof undressing a girl. Stop. Comment. He makes love. Stop. He throws her off the roof into Long Island traffic. Comment, existential chuckle. Dinsmore gets a stop-action hysterectomy which, allowing for differences of taste, is still not the last laugh. But that it is humorous at all is Downey's victory...
