When it was found that Thai soldiers were wearing through their U.S.-made boots within six months, scientists made a survey of Thai foot shapes, found them to be substantially different from the G.I. foot, then used special lasts for the production of Thai boots, which are expected to wear twice as long. For field troops plagued by the leeches in warm Thai streams, the center produced a repellent with a lanolin base that neither perspiration nor river water will wash away...

His trademark is an extravagantly Californian style: exuberant use of chiffon, bold sun colors such as orange and yellow, the revival of striking art nouveau prints.

Incensed by that "annual holdup," the Detroit News only half-jokingly urged men to wear their hair long as "a badge of courage in the face of inflationary pressures...
Actuality is insinuated by the texture of the film, overexposed and grainy as a newsreel, and by a cast of amateurs whose faces wear the perfect unpreventable authenticity of faces in a crowd. Pauline Murray, who plays the nurse, is a professional, but she skillfully conceals her training behind features as natural and untidy as an untied shoe. At every point in this picture, art conceals art so responsibly that fantasy , takes on the force of history...
