First, his memory is faulty. We didn't bring 150,000 tons of fertilizer into Corps in 1967; it was more like 12-13,000 tons. Second, I was stressing the importance of using fertilizer to counteract precisely the type of production decline which Corson cites. Without fertilizer, rice output in I Corps would have declined even further. I learned a long time ago that just because a statement appears between hard covers in a book does not make it true. Corson's book is replete with allegation, short on fact...
...join the revolution, did not respond: "The mass of peasants does not help us at all and has become informers." Che watched some of his most loyal followers fall in combat, get separated from others and cut off from supplies by the army's ever-tightening clamp. "This type of struggle gives us the opportunity not only to turn ourselves into revolutionaries, the highest level of the human species, but it also allows us to graduate as men," he wrote on Aug. 8, still confident of victory.

Take it all off!" while the music rips through a bump-and-grind melody. Of course she is really talking to some guy shaving with Noxzema, and she is referring to his beard. At first it seems wrong. Isn't it the man who is supposed to shout: "Take it off"? But in an instant, the reversal of roles becomes rather charming and even sexy, which is more than can be said...
...stained with blood" seemed to Justice Stewart a clear attempt to deceive the jurors. But the Illinois Bar committee insists that the prosecutors were merely following the expert view of a state chemist. His pretrial analysis, says the committee, indicated that there was blood of the victim's type on the shorts. The fact that the shorts were also paint-stained, the committee insists, was quite immaterial. The defense would still have had to explain away the blood...
