Temperatures hit 130° on the sandy beaches, 20° in the mountains. In the water-filled bunkers of Danang and Phan Rang, marines and paratroopers wrapped themselves in rubberized ponchos to grab a few hours' soaked sleep. In the endless paddyfields...

Despite strict malaria discipline, the Department of Defense reports that ten Americans have died in Viet Nam this year from cerebral or other complications, and researchers are intensifying the hunt for new drugs. One that shows some promise is DOS (diaphenylsulfone), normally used in leprosy. Another is a new, long-acting sulfa drug, Fanasil.
