I haven't read anything by Paul Fussell, except for reviews of his books. It is an oversight to be sure. I don't have to read to hear the stories, though. My cousin's husband from Ruidoso was a medic in the Special Forces and spent 2 years in Nam and 2 more in Laos. A few times a week him and some buddies get together in his shop and have some beers and shoot the breeze. In between the jokes and stories of local adventures, they talk about their days in Vietnam. Some of it is pretty riveting stuff. I'd like to hear McNamara or one of his ilk talk about "corollary casualties" to that crew.

Speaking of being serenaded by coyotes, did you catch Chilton Williamson's column in the latest issue of Chronicles magazine? This time he is in Northwestern Wyoming. An excerpt: We had finished washing up from supper and settled ourselves for a last toddy as, from the direction of Shoshone Pass, a howl arose, deep and bodied and powerful, entirely unlike the coyote's cracked falsetto. I looked at Norma. "It's a wolf," I said. I'd never heard one out-of-doors before, but the sound was unmistakable. ...hearing one in the wild was an awesome thing, compared with which the coyote howl is as unimpressive as a toy poodle puppy yapping in a Madison Avenue pet shop.
