...have been pre pared attacking Mondale: one focuses on the Carter Administration's failure to honor the 1976 Democratic platform's call to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem; the other pictures a burning fuse and accuses Mondale of failing to learn "the lessons of Viet Nam" in Central America...
Execution of Justice by Emily Mann. Dan White was a Viet Nam paratrooper, then a policeman, a fireman and supervisor of San Francisco's Eighth District.

...siege and fall of Troy is, inexplicably, almost as wooden as the horse. Her enthusiastic expedition into papal territory (where she solemnly scolds, but obviously admires, the ferocious warrior-Pope Julius II) stops dead for impenetrable paragraphs dealing with Renaissance politics. The sharply polemical tone in the Viet Nam section undermines the intended message...
