...Though a professed antiCommunist, Minh has long tried to present himself as a moderate who could lead a future government of national reconciliation. His prospects-and Ky's, too, perhaps -may well have been strengthened by the stunning announcement of Richard Nixon's planned trip to Peking, which enhances the plausibility of Minh's conciliatory position. Moreover, many observers see in the latest Communist signals in Paris an oblique endorsement of Minh as a man whom both Hanoi and the National Liberation Front would be willing to live with, at least for a while. As yet, Minh...
Richard Nixon's arrival in the White House was welcomed with particular warmth in Taipei. After all, the former Vice President was well known as a vigorous antiCommunist, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek naturally expected him to continue Washington's longstanding policy of isolating the Red government on China's mainland.

...Deal brand of liberalism made him a spender. His personal background and early congressional experience−he was the chairman of a Special Un-American Activities Committee in the 1930s−made him a strident antiCommunist.

...Minh Trail. Cambodia could be a plus -over the short run, at least-provided the situation does not degenerate into anarchy and prompt a panicky Hanoi to mount a full-scale invasion. (Sihanouk was useful in that he kept Cambodia stable. If the new regime swings violently antiCommunist, there could be serious trouble.) Hanoi, too, had a mixed week, with a definite plus in Laos all but outweighed by a possible minus in Cambodia. The survival of the sanctuary in Cambodia is now in question; supplies coming through Sihanoukville reportedly have been slowed, and some Communist troops may soon begin...
Most of the others came from honor even anticommunist families, of the type that made up the bulk of the 26th of July movement. Juan says frankly. "I was basically interested in music and girls and fooling around. I didn't know what socialism was; I didn't even know what capitalism was." In four years, Hugo would be elected to the Party by fellow-workers in the clothing factory where he worked, but at the time "I always argued with my friends in the pre-Revolutionary Communist Party. I told them communism couldn't work...
