@@@@@ Once in khaki suits Gee, we looked

@@@@@

Once in khaki suits
Gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went sloggin’ thru Hell,
I was the kid with the drum
Say, don’t you remember, they call me Al?
It was Al all the time
Say, don’t you remember, I’m your pal?
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

They started laughing as they finished, and Toglio yelled, “What do we sing next? How about ‘Show Me The Way to Go Home’?”
“I can’t sing,” Red shouted”My throat’s too dry He pursed his mouth and rolled his eyes, and Toglio laughed into the rainWhat an ugly comical guy Red wasThey were all good guys
“Show me the way to go home,” Toglio sang, and several other men began to sing with them

I’m tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it’s gone right to my head

The rain had become hard and steady, and Toglio had a wistful mellow feeling as he chanted the wordsHe was cold, and despite the bodies about him he kept shiveringHe had an image of driving in a car on a winter twilight, approaching a strange town which beckoned to him with its warmth and lights

Wherever I may roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You can always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home

It was almost dark, and in the lee of the truck underneath the coconut trees it was becoming difficult to see the men’s facesToglio’s mood deepened, became sad and gentleHe remembered how his wife had looked once trimming a Christmas tree, and a tear ran down his heavy fleshy cheeksFor a minute or so he felt completely removed from the war, from the rain, from everything; he knew that in a little while he would be having to consider where and how he would sleep, but for this brief moment he sang resolutely, wriggling his toes, letting all the soft sensuous memories that the songs evoked flow unresisting through his mind
A jeep came wallowing through the mud and came to a halt about thirty feet from themHe saw General Cummings and two other officers dismount, and he nudged Red to stop singingThe General was bareheaded and his uniform was completely wet, but he was smilingToglio looked at him with interest and some reverenceHe had seen the General many times in the bivouac area but this was the first time he had been so close”You men, you men here,” the General shouted as he came near them, “how do you feelwet?” Toglio laughed with the ot

Croft remained outside the jungle edge, looking at the stream that curved away at the right and flowed parallel to the mountainsIt took a turn toward the Japanese lines just a few yards before the first walls of the bluff began, and he would be able to see everything on that sideTo the left the stream ran straight for a few hundred yards like a highway at night, sunk between high grassy banks”Where are you?” he asked
The soldier pointed to a tree which projected a little from the jungle”We’re just on this side of itIf you got to get to us, go back to the fork and then take the trail at the far right going away from hereYell ‘Buckeye’ when you come up
“Okay,” Croft saidThey talked for a few more minutes, and then the other soldier hooked his cartridge belt”Jesus, I’ll tell ya, it’ll drive ya crazy spending a night hereJust wilderness, that’s all, and you stuck out at the end of it with nothing but a lousy machine gun He slung his rifle and struck off down the trailCroft looked at him for a moment and then went back to reconThe men were waiting by the three pup tents, and he showed them where the two machine guns were placedBriefly he told them what he had learned and picked a guard”There’s gonna be four of us on one post and five on the otherWe’ll do it in two-hour shiftsThen the post that’s only got four men will get the extra one for the next time around He divided them up, taking the first shift at the flank gun himselfWilson volunteered to take the other gun”After Ah’m done, Ah’m gonna want to sleep right on through,” Wilson said”Ah’m tired of gittin’ up right when Ah’m havin’ a good dream

@@@@@COMMUNISM, remember? then what did he do about COMMUNISM? N-O-T-H-I-N-G as far as we can seeOne of his workers at his headquarters was a vice-president of CIO and another worker was a director of the Anti-Nazi League of N remember this league that did not like Father Coughlin and wanted to boycott Catholic Franco
Now Jimmy Andrews, Old Boy, remember the old gray mare Aint What She Used To Be, so don’t start off on the wrong foot, don’t kid the Public or the Veterans, make sure what you sayHelp The Veteran — Don’t KidWe’re all on to you, Jimmy Andrews, and the voters of Ward 9 don’t want a bigotSo watch out for the Company YOU KEEPThere’s no place in the party for men like YOUWe’re on to that old game
NO BIGOTS ALLOWED
NO COMMUNISTS
LET’S GET ANDREWS OUT

Gallagher felt a dull anger as he readIt was those kind of guys you had to watch out for, the fuggin CommunistsHe remembered once when he was driving a truck and the AFL had tried to organize themHe’d mentioned it down at the ward headquarters, and the organizer had never come backThere was something funny there, he’d noticed there were guys in the party who would play around with the Red Labor Outfits, men like Big Joe Durmey, and this Jim Andrews guy, and they had no call to deal with bigots, Gallagher decidedThose were the kind of guys who were always working against him; no wonder he had never got anywhereHe felt a pang of envy as he thought of Whitey LydonEverybody was getting ahead of him while he was stuck hereThere wasn’t anybody you could trust
He folded the paper and crammed it into his pocketCroft was calling to them and they got out of their tents, and strolled toward the truck that was to take them to the section of road upon which they were workingThe sun had been up for only an hour and the morning still had a fine clear youthGallagher thought vaguely of early summer mornings when he set out for work, and the pavements were still cool and fresh from the summer nightHe had forgotten the newspaper and was humming to himself as he climbed on the truck

In the mail room, a pyramidal tent with two field desks, the mail clerk was sorting some of the letters that had been misaddressedThere was a stack of twenty letters for Hennessey, tied together with a thin piece of twine, and they lay for several hours on a corner of the desk

my head about spring planting at the plantation Scarlett settled
back against the cushions, wishing that Rhett’s sister wasn’t coming
homeShe had no clear idea of what Rosemary would be like, and
she’d
rather not find outShe knew, from bits of gossip that she’d heard,
that Rosemary’s birth had caused a lot of hidden smilesShe was a
“change” baby, born when Eleanor Butler was over forty years old
She was also an old maid, one of the domestic casualties of the War
too
young to marry before it began, too plain and too poor to attract the
attention of the few men available when it was over
Rhett’s return to Charleston and his fabulous wealth had set tongues
waggingRosemary would have a substantial dowry nowBut she
seemed
to be always away, visiting a cousin or a friend in another townWas
she looking for a husband there? Weren’t Charleston men good
enough
for her? Everyone had been waiting for the announcement of an
engagement for more than a year, but there was not even a hint of an
attachment, much less a betrothal”Rich pickings for speculation” was
the way Emma Anson described the situation
Scarlett speculated on her ownShe’d be delighted to have Rosemary
marry, no matter what it cost RhettShe didn’t care to have her in the
houseNo matter if Rosemary was as plain as a mud fence, she was
still younger than Scarlett and Rhett’s sister to bootShe’d get too
much of his attentionShe tensed when she heard the outside door
open,
a few minutes before suppertimeRhett
entered
the library, and smiled at his mother

@@@@@ Once in their house, they have a new tax, called property taxThen, they buy a new car, new furniture and new appliances to match [heir new houseAil of a sudden, they wake up and their liabilities column is full of mortgage debt and credit-card debt
They’re now trapped in the rat race The process repeats itself More money and higher taxes, also called bracket creep, A credit card comes in the mail A loan company calls and says their greatest “asset,” their home, has appreciated in valueThe company offers a “bill consolidation” loan, because their credit is so good, and tells them the intelligent thing to do is clear off the high-interest consumer debt by paying off their credit cardAnd besides, interest on their home is a tax deductionThey go for it, and pay off those high-interest credit cardsThey breathe a sigh of reliefTheir credit cards are paid offThey’ve now folded their consumer debt into their home mortgage Their payments go down because they extend their debt over 30 years It is the smart thing to do
Their neighbor calls to invite them to go shopping-the Memorial Day sale is onA chance to save some moneyThey say to themselves, “I won’t buy anything But just in case they find something, they tuck that clean credit card inside their wallet
I run into this young couple all the timeTheir names change, but their financial dilemma is the sameThey come to one of my talks to hear what I have to sayThey ask me, “Can you tell us how to make more money?” Their spending habits have caused them to seek more income
They don’t even know that the trouble is really how they choose to spend the money they do have, and that is the real cause of their financial struggleIt is caused by financial illiteracy and not understanding the difference between an asset and a liabil

@@@@@Croft had been with them so long, had controlled the platoon so completely, that probably they could not believe Croft was no longer the platoon leaderThey were afraid to respond to him, afraid Croft would remember whenever he resumed his commandThe thing was to make them understand that he would be with the platoon permanentlyBut that would take timeIf only he had had a week with them in bivouac, a few minor patrols before thisHearn shrugged again, wiped some sweat from his foreheadThe sun was fierce once more
And the hills were always risingAll morning the platoon plodded through the tall grass, climbing slowly, trudging through valleys, laboring awkwardly around the slopes of the hillsTheir fatigue started again, their breath grew short, and their faces burned from the sun and the exertionNow, no one was talking, and they progressed sullenly in file
The sun clouded over, and it began to rainThis was pleasant at first, for the rain was cool and stirred a breeze along the top of the grass, but soon the ground turned soft and their shoes fouled with mudBy degrees they became completely wet againTheir heads drooping, their rifle muzzles pointed toward the ground to avoid the rain, the file of men looked like a row of wilted flowersEverything about them sagged
The terrain had altered, become rockierThe hills were steeper now, and some of them were covered with a waist-high brush of low thickets and flat-leafed plantsFor the first time since they had left the jungle they passed a grove of treesThe rain halted, and the sun began to burn again, directly overheadThe platoon halted in a tiny grove, and the men stripped their packs, and ate another rationWilson fingered his crackers distastefully, mouthed down a square of cheese”Ah heard this binds a man up,” he said to Red
“Hell, it must be good for something
Wilson laughed, but he was confuse
