Tons of Danger. Sunday was a day of pure surrealist chaos. In Sag Harbor, a onetime whaling port, a fake whale was seen floating in the harbor; 15 pretty nurses lay down on three hospital beds set smack in the middle of the highway. But nothing matched the pandemonium on Montauk's bluffs. There the Montauk Fire Department's hoses and two foam makers were turned loose, sending gallons upon gallons of fire-fighting foam billowing down the cliffs.

Officially designated the C-130 Hercules, it is known as the "Herky Bird" to thousands of U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam, and it provides them with the sustenance of life. The cargo-carrying Herky Bird works when monsoon rains keep supply ships offshore. It flies ammunition and chow to artillery units isolated by the Viet Cong, now moves 65% of the military...
