This time Ari and his constant companion, Maria Callas, 43, drifted into Nassau harbor aboard Onassis' 325-ft., $3,000,000 yacht Christina, a magnificent barge that comes equipped with its own twin-engined seaplane, swimming pool and crew of 50.

After the twin craft had rendezvoused with a disabled Apollo vehicle, for example, the three-man Apollo crew could transfer to the empty Gemini, detach it from the piloted rescue craft, and return to earth simply by firing their retrorockets...

One company was hit as its American-piloted helicopters put down in the paddy-and-palmetto plains between the Nuoc Trong and Cai Lon rivers. Four "slicks" (troop-carrying choppers) were shot out of the sky by Chinese-built 7.9-mm. antiaircraft cannons; another four "gunships" (helicopters carrying rockets and machine guns for close support) dropped like stones. Moments later, a Medevac chopper was downed...
