...case Washington did not get the message, Thieu was saying much the same thing on visits to the two other most staunchly anti-Communist countries of Asia, South Korea and Taiwan. In Seoul, as balloons held aloft huge Vietnamese and Korean flags, he warned against "a false peace, a counterfeit peace." South Korea's tough President Chung Hee Park, who has sent 50,000 of his own men to South Viet Nam, agreed with his guest that a coalition with the Viet Cong was out of the question and that recognition of the legitimacy of the present government would...
...late 1940s, as a vehemently anti-Communist Congressman, Richard Nixon charged that then Secretary of State Dean Acheson suffered from "a form of pinkeye toward the Communist threat in the U.S." Twenty years have changed both men, and last week Acheson turned up to help Nixon in the President's battle to win congressional approval of the Administration's Safeguard anti-ballistic-missile system. Democrat Acheson, along with former Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Nitze and Albert Wohlstetter, a nuclear-war strategist at the University of Chicago, announced that they were forming a bipartisan group of scientists, professors...
...story-as in the case of NBC's report on religious bigotry in Northern Ireland and CBS's caustic look at Palm Beach millionaires-it can just as easily be gratuitous.

The CIA was not founded until 1947, but the U.S. fought back by employing the spy system of defeated Germany, directed by General Reinhard Gehlen. An aristocratic non-Nazi who had directed Eastern-front espionage for Hitler, Gehlen knew early that Germany would lose. Sensing that the cold war would soon develop, he maintained his network of agents in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Grisly as the idea...
...Saigon politics, he has persuaded some former rivals to join his government and, more important, has given South Viet Nam's fledgling institutions a measure of legality. That gives hope for the future, and makes the government virtually coup-proof for the present. No Saigon politician?not even the anti-Communist opponents of Thieu's government?wants to go back to the bad old days of revolving governments...
