...invaders from Ithaca never really threatened. Looking as if they had never seen a zone defense, their attack was totally ineffectual. The Big Red shot at a scintillating 27 per cent clip, and never came closer than 35 to 27 after the Crimson's early outburst...
...Ducks. The battle began as a routine "search and clear" operation in a Red-infested area near the tiny hamlet of Apbac. The strike plan called for ten U.S. H21 troop-carrying helicopters, escorted by five U.S. rocket-firing HUA choppers, to ferry 400 government troops to the drop zone in waves of 100 men each.

Against this background, a Western reader, spurred by the effort to fill in the outlines of individual emotion only hinted at by the author, soon begins to speculate on small and large moral questions. Sample problem for a border guard: A man is escaping. I must shoot. But should...
