...Appeal. The peasants refer to both the Diem government and the Communists as they, as if recognizing that a peasant cannot be a participant in the war, only a victim. But even the most isolated tribesmen must choose to which of them he wants to give his allegiance. Typical of the Reds' recruiting and propaganda is one of their recent forays among the Jarai tribe of the central plateau. More than 100 Viet Cong arrived one night, lit a bonfire and assembled the people. "A Communist spoke for 30 or 40 minutes," reported a tribesman. "He spoke Jarai, just...
...difficult to distinguish the young man's dreams from his present reality. Across from his rooming house is a playground of his nightmare, the same voices of children, the same little girls jumping rope. Even the daughter of the woman he loves bears a striking resemblance to his former victim. This is so convincing that the man although both are rationally aware that all the audience itself adopts the distorted viewpoint of the similarities are imagined...
Enter Walker. When the Kennedy Administration took over, it made evident that it was going to crack down on military talkers. The first victim was Chief of Naval Operations, Arleigh Burke.

In a meticulous ritual of hysteria, she cuts up her torn clothes, flushes them down the drain, pops into bed as if nothing had happened, as if out of sight were really out of mind...
...second. Existence of this "6 and 14 dysrhythmia" has been known for only a decade. While its significance is still disputed, Dr. Woods believes that it is often a sign of a personality disorder, virtually confined to children and adolescents, that he calls the "6 and 14 syndrome." Most victims seem to be average or exceptionally "good" children until they are picked up for setting fires, sexual aggression, and other crimes of violence. In most of twelve murders committed by 6-14 cases, the victim was the mother or, as in Steve's case, a substitute...
