It was the summer of dissent. The war in Vietnam was now a huge political issue on almost every college campus and every city in the US. People were wearing their hair long, dressed in tie dyed clothes and thinking they were very intellectual. Some of these people would end up in the very place they were dissenting, Vietnam. Most were very naive and actually...

Su Lin couldn't believe the size of Jenifer's bed and she saw at once by the unmade bed that Jenifer didn't sleep alone. "You are going to love Jenifer," I said. "She's so cute and cuddly." "Practice of the Pleasures should never be denied," Su Lin said. "It only makes me happier that we are sisters. There are things that sisters can do that others should n...
"Hey Preacher," the voice coming from the phone shocked me. No one had called me that since my last days in Vietnam. Four years at home and still trying to get past those days. "Jim you son of a bitch, I almost didn't recognize your voice." He had to know that it was a lie. Not more than a dozen people in the whole world knew me by that name. "What the hell...
