...mission was emphasized by the presence of two colonels, one light colonel, a major, a captain, two lieutenants, several Jeep-mounted machine guns, a Jeep-mounted 106-mm. recoilless rifle. Could this be the real thing? Not exactly. In the middle of the armed mob was old Veni Vidi Video himself-Jack Paar...
