McCloskey, who resigned his ambassadorship only last month, had nothing to say about Baker. Of the VA hospital suit, he declared: "We can successfully defend our position." Meanwhile, White House aides hastened to point out that the ambassador's resignation was only a coincidence, had nothing whatever to do with his difficulties. McCloskey had intended to resign anyway, they said, to help raise money for the coming Democratic campaigns...
...most newspapers went elephant hunting-and found plenty of game. Columnist Roscoe Drummond reignited the torch that he has been carrying all fall. "The unresolved question" about Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. Ambassador to South Viet Nam, wrote Drummond, "is not whether Mr. Lodge is going to resign his ambassadorship and become an open, active and campaigning candidate for the nomination-but when."

As if apologizing for his failure to have visited all of them, he adds that thanks to the gruelling schedules trips outside Tokyo involve...
...arrangement made a sort of mutual logic. Last spring Lodge told the President that he wanted to return to public service, specifically that he wanted an ambassadorship.* Lodge, who saw World War II action as deputy chief of staff of the IV Army Corps in Italy, is keenly interested in the ticklish problems of guerrilla warfare against the Communist Viet Cong. In Lodge, the President gets a New Englander who speaks blunt English and fluent French, the language of the South Vietnamese leaders, and can be expected to use both effectively whether smoothing U.S. relations with President Ngo Dinh Diem...
