Mayaguez
CBS News investigates what happened to three American troops left behind alive on Koh Tang Island in the last battle of America's war in Southeast Asia. The mission of the Marines who fought the battle was to save the crew of the SS Mayaguez, a merchant ship seized by the Cambodians. "For decades the mission was hailed as a victory. In truth, it was a military disaster in which bad intelligence cost American lives," the segment reveals. Other findings include that the government knew the three Marines left behind were alive; that the men could have been saved for days, possibly weeks, before being captured and executed; and that their families were told that the troops died in combat.

William H. Barrett was making his second run for county sheriff. He was promoting himself as having extensive background in law enforcement and as a Vietnam combat veteran. He intimated that his service was top-secret. In the course of covering the campaign, the GT reported that the candidate had spent his service years as a Marine Corps cook at Camp LaJeune, N.C., and had never been in Southeast Asia. He had wildly inflated his work history in law enforcement. The candidate's campaign staff lied about the findings of an "expert" hired to corroborate the candidate's record and refute newspaper reports after it was called into question.
