...first shot in the sequence is of a helicopter far in the distance, though it is impossible to tell if it is of a commercial or military type. The film then shows a young man, his clothes soaked in blood, with what appear to be bullet wounds in his legs and arms. Another young man and a woman, also seemingly with bullet wounds, are also filmed. "I lost my flip-flop when I was running," the woman says. "I bent down to pick it up, and the bullet went through my basket and hit me." Va Char then films...
After a week of gut-wound assaults on his character, Kerry finally fired back on Thursday night, assailing Bush and Cheney for having avoided service in Vietnam and for having "misled" us into Iraq. The latter may be an exaggeration, but after the G.O.P. assault, Kerry has a right to exaggerate with impunity. Indeed, if he hopes to win, Kerry will have to do much more of that. He will have to become a version of the young John Kerry not celebrated at the Democratic Convention--the eloquent, passionate, uncoached leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War who caused...
...final scenes, Niuniu is walking down a quiet street when a stray bullet strikes her in the calf. We soon learn that it's June 1989 and that the street lies directly behind Tiananmen Square.

There were other, less political, less public lives ruined, too. That's what A Private Life chronicles so well...
...sums to SBVT, and last week Bush campaign counsel Benjamin Ginsberg resigned from the campaign after acknowledging that he had advised the group, though he insisted he had done nothing illegal. Now it turns out that retired Rear Admiral and swift-boat veteran William Schachte, who claimed the wound that won Kerry his first Purple Heart was self-inflicted, is counsel at the same law firm as David Norcross, chairman of this week's Republican National Convention. Norcross tells TIME he knew nothing about Schachte's claim. "There's no connection whatsoever," says Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt, accusing...
...EVIDENCE Kerry's medical record was signed not by Letson but by corpsman J.C. Carreon. Letson claims Carreon routinely signed forms for him. Letson told the Los Angeles Times he heard the wound was self-inflicted thirdhand--from his subordinates, who heard it from Kerry's two crewmates. They deny saying that and insist Schacte wasn't on the boat that night. The military grants a Purple Heart for any wound requiring medical attention that was inflicted during action against the enemy...
