...hired a car and went up to Hue together, intending to go to the Ashau Valley, home of Apbia Mountain, or Hamburger Hill, the site in May 1969 of one of the most appalling battles of the war. Dave was there. He was in enough places to be shot twice. When he got home in 1971, they popped him full of Thorazine. He wound up in Veracruz taking a Mexican passport, which he uses to this day. Out of Danang the road snaked north along the coast through emerald country, through two-cow towns with broken coolers brimming with...
...such punitive action. Said Baldrige: ''We have a duty to maintain credibility and integrity.''

So if you're in the vicinity and can't get into The Dark Knight, try Mackenzie's film; it has twice the angst at half the running time. And next week, if it' s a choice between The X Files and The Exiles, take a chance on the little...
Sure, times are tough for Republican incumbents all over the country, but you wouldn't want to be running Scott Garrett's congressional reelection campaign. Sure, he holds a seat in New Jersey's solidly Republican 5th district that has been GOP property for decades, and there are almost twice as many registered Republicans as Democrats in the affluent district. But who'd want to run for the party of an epically unpopular president when the opponent is a blind rabbi...
