Coming from such a background, girls find themselves already outfitted in the chocolate uniform. It may range in attractiveness, but it is always Conventional. Woolen scarves over the head, large plaids, sneakers, eyeglasses, and thick boots are common. When they are messy it is with dirty hair, bitten nails, and too-long skirts. And when they are well-dressed, it is in a happily wholesome way, with pleated skirts. Loden coats, and the bulky cardigans that all American teenagery is wearing. If they approach the tastefulness of the peach style at times (without ever really achieving it), it is perhaps...
...civilian politician has wielded significant power in South Viet Nam since President Ngo Dinh Diem was over thrown in 1963.

Under its provisions, federal assistance for the aged, the blind and the disabled would continue unchanged, except that benefits would be increased. A uniform floor of $65 per month for all such recipients would be established, with the Treasury chipping in 25% of the cost in excess of $65. The largest and most controversial segment of the present welfare system-aid to families with dependent children (AFDC)-would be eliminated...
Frishman, the most talkative of the three, did not discuss the justice or injustice of the war in which he had fought. His anguish and confusion abated somewhat when, during a stop at Frankfurt, the men changed into uniform. "I went to Viet Nam a military man and I am coming out a military man," explained Frishman. "The one thing I would definitely say for the record is that I am a Navy man and proud of it. But I am small potatoes at the mouth of the dragon...
