Moving out of the mountains and across the la Drang River, 500 troops walked through prickly elephant grass into a Communist ambush. From three sides, Viet Minh hardhats rained mortar, rocket and small-arms fire on the troops. Shouting "G.I. son of a bitch!," they sprang from behind hedgerows and trees, giant anthills and bushes to take on the Americans in savage hand-to-hand fighting.

While the ineffable Judge Brown made good use of "a green cuspidor strategically located by his left foot," he rejected virtually every defense objection, say the authors. D.A. Wade successfully introduced Ruby's apparently sane statements after the shooting ("I hope I killed the son of a bitch"), including one that indicated premeditation ("I first planned to kill him at the Friday night press conference").

Already skeptical...

...Tulip divided dog lovers there into two neat halves: they either loved it or loathed it. Both responses are acceptable. There is no denying that Bachelor Ackerley has described with great literary skill, affection and wit the ties that often bind man to dog-in this case an Alsatian bitch. There is also no denying that Ackerley endlessly dwells on what some circles consider a dog's least lovable proclivities: elimination and procreation...
