How the heck did the Japanese Army become the Army of
occupation so fast in Vietnam? It sure did provide a convenient launching
pad for actions against certain British colonies later in WWII but efforts to

attempts to find out how the Japanese Army took over so fast in Vietnam.
If austerity budgets become necessary isn't it logical to conclude that suspending school lunch programs and funding armed guards in every school in the nation, is just a "no brainer"?

President Lyndon Baines Johnson said: "If we've lost Cronkite, we've lost the country." [Back in the Sixties unconditional love in the mainstream media for (Republican) Presidents was unavailable because Fox News had not yet been born.]
Now the disk jockey will play "Alice's Restaurant Massacre," "The Ballad of the Green Beret" and "Eve of Destruction." We have to go write a tepid review of the new movie "Not Fade Away." Have a "time is on my side" type week.
