...Whose Scenario? It was easy to conclude from all this that Washington initially wanted Saigon's troops out and then changed strategy, or that the Administration intended all along to promote and sustain a Vietnamese expedition in Cambodia after June 30 but chose to obfuscate that policy, or that Thieu rather than Nixon was writing the scenario.

According to the conservationists' scenario, the vegetation in the area would die or be replaced by other salt-tolerant species...
...Miami, where "everyone looked like he was fried in butter," and Hawaii, where everyone was addicted to pineapples. He had to bribe a waiter to keep him from dumping the ananas ("the French sounds like a Biblical sin") onto the spaghetti. One of the finest comic moments offers a scenario for the antics of an anonymous conductor, with strong hints that it is "Von Mehta...
