...distinct disappointment. Recorded in the Philadelphia Academy of Music rather than in the ballroom used by Columbia, their sound is often dry and devoid of the luster for which the orchestra is famous.

Minh, who works at a nine-phone desk but writes poetry in off-hours, wants his pilots to continue their sociability, "especially with the ladies," but to be disciplined when airborne. The improvement has raised the limited hope that some day, when the fighting is finally scaled down, the South Vietnamese will be able to carry their own in the air as well as on the ground...
