Lt.William Calley - or as National Lampoon put it - What, My Lai?

James R. Cross was released by Quebec Separatist rebels who had held him hostage for two months. The British government uncovered a conspiracy being hatched by the IRA to target various high-profile individuals. The My Lai Massacre trial of Lt. William Calley continued on with new and more horrible revelations of atrocities committed under Cally's watch. And the withdrawl plan saw 7,000 less U.S. troops in Vietnam.
