Rather grimly and noncommittally, Taylor accepted the fact, settled down to a "working relationship" with Khanh. The little general had not proved himself a particularly effective administrator during his previous term in power, but he seems sincerely anti-Communist and apparently preferable to almost any other possible ruler in Saigon-provided he is neither swept away nor won over by the Buddhists, who would probably hand the country over to the Communists if they were in power...

After a seesawing summary of the argument, but without substantial new evidence, Werth chooses to agree for the most part with the official Soviet self-exoneration...
