FT,

On the subject of guilty pleasures, do you recall the mid '70s version of The Three Musketeers, the one with Michael York, Oliver Reed, Faye Dunaway, Raquel Welch, etc.? One of the all-time greats. I'll take a funny movie over a serious one any old time.

The subject of Vietnam we will have to take up someday; I haven't the time at the moment. For one thing, I don't buy the chromite story - plenty of it elsewhere. A few other things might be mentioned as well. Have you read Tuchman's The March of Folly?

I did that one to death with Quinnelly, who cuts a mean argument, on DAR a few months back. Perhaps we'll repeat someday. Not today. Hard to pass it up, modern Asia being my own turf, but the demands of commerce take precedence.

Steve

No, old buddy, you've got your reactionary movements mixed up, we were supporting apartheid in South Africa for chromium, it was said that we were supporting South Vietnam for South China sea petroleum, whatever that is .
