...even earlier, asserts TIME Pentagon Correspondent John Mulliken, top military officers should have exercised "their responsibility of advising the civilian leadership in military matters." Instead of automatically embracing President Johnson's proposition in 1965 that U.S. combat forces might go into Viet Nam, the Joint Chiefs should have warned with greater insight-and greater force-of the difficulty of waging guerrilla warfare against an enemy that could match U.S. manpower...

The evening is permeated with the spirit of the '20s, gin-high, half-naughty, half-emancipated, free-souled and free-bodied-not the least piquant aspect of which is the decision of the two leading ladies to play their roles throughout sans bras...
