...officer put it, "V.C. Fat City-mighty pleasant living for them." That came to an abrupt end early one rainy morning when the first helicopter assault forces of the 1st Air Cav took off from Moore's staging area, called "Dog," and headed for LZ-4, a landing zone nestled between two villages...
DECISIONS Boston Stamp Dealer Henry Harris took one look at the $2 sheet of 50 com memorative Panama Canal Zone stamps and figured that he had made at least a $100,000 find. The Thatcher Ferry Bridge, which was what the commemoration was all about, had somehow failed to show up in the engraving. There were three other misprinted sheets that had not been sold, but embarrassed Zone officials decided to print more, Harris' saturate dreams of the market philatelic and ruin treasure. They were taking their cue from one time Postmaster General J. Edward Day, who had highhandedly...

Freely translated, it means run, run, run and never, never miss. A perfectionist rather than an innovator, Rupp decries such newfangled tactics as the zone press defense which he sometimes uses but insists on calling a "stratified, transitional hyperbolic paraboloid." He relies on ten offensive plays, which his team practices with a devotion to duty unseen since the Spartans of ancient Greece...
