...into victory, but because he seemed to embody, like a noble caricature, all the legendary qualities of the English. Not that pugnacity is essential. Americans see Pope John XXIII as a hero because he exuded love and managed to combine the saintly with the jolly. Many Americans would also accord the status of saint-hero to Albert Schweitzer, because they cherish the sentimental picture of the man who gave up the world in order to do good works in a dark corner of the globe. But Schweitzer perhaps lived too long. "Every hero becomes a bore at last," said Emerson...

They demanded that the generals step down immediately. With ousted General Thi openly agreeing and much of I Corps in rebellion against Saigon's control, Thich Tri Quang prepared this week to fly back home as a "peace envoy" to Hué, where lies his chief strength. Whether as peace envoy or missionary of discontent, he will more and more bear on his slim and restless shoulders the welfare...
