     16   "Psywars"

          Written by    Glen Merzer
          Directed by   Fred Gerber


     McMurphy is on a short fuse when an Army psychiatrist comes to
     China Beach to gather material for a research project on stress
     in non-combatants, and irritates her with the manner in which he
     pushes some of the grunts back out into combat. But it proves
     to be all wrapped up in her coming to terms with Natch's fate.

     17   "Where the Boys Are"

          Written by    Alan Brennert
          Directed by   Michael Rhodes


     McMurphy, overworking herself to exhaustion, is forced to take
     R&R until she's had enough rest, and she finds herself up against
     the unrelentingly good-natured Jeff Hyers. Disturbed by the fact
     that so many of the men killed in action weren't old enough to
     have attended their senior prom, she inspires Boonie to put one
     on for the folks at China Beach. And Wayloo's pursuit of Boonie's
     story results in an unforeseen, and unfortunate, consequence.

          Note 3: See also the third season episode "Souvenirs" (#36),
                  which featured more interviews with actual Vietnam
