Much of South Korea's military command and control functions are in U.S. hands. All 18 ROK army divisions, for example, are under the operational control of General Richard G. Stilwell, 58 (no kin to World War II's "Vinegar Joe"). Stilwell wears the hats of commanding general of the U.S. Eighth Army, commander in chief of the United Nations Command and commander of U.S. Forces-Korea. The crucial I Corps Group forces are commanded by Lieut. General James P. ("Holly") Hollingsworth, 57, a veteran of World War II and Viet Nam; packing a pearl-handled revolver...
...isolation of Harvard's Vietnam vets is real. Marton, who lives in a single at Currier House, admits that "because I got all the piss and vinegar out of me. I'm more sedate than most around here, and have only a narrow circle of friends." Another undergraduate, John Derho '75, also 26 and also a veteran of combat in Vietnam, moved out of Adams House last year and went incommunicadeo.

...Have Nothing to Declare but My Genius is full of fizz and vinegar. It is a magnificently spiteful spoof about a rich, prolific hack written by a man who frequently describes himself as a bleeder and a firm believer "that easy writ ing makes hard reading." The hack is the kind of man who dashes off a few mysteries before breakfast and boasts of popularizing Shakespeare so that he will be "comprehensible to the veriest moron ... to even a rock fan." He is also a painter with a worldwide reputation...
...ROMAGNOLIS' TABLE. PBS, Sundays 7:00 p.m. E.D.T. For the viewer-cook inclined to split piselli, it must be said that Pa and Ma (Italian-born Franco and Irish-English Margaret) Romagnoli are a bit offhand. He says add a cup of vinegar, but what he does is slosh a slug of it into a wineglass, eye it with a shrug, and toss it in. A few Romagnoli dishes - hot Swiss chard with olive oil, spareribs and sausages mired in thick sauce - are the sort of thing only an Italian mama could love. But these are piffling objections. This...
