...deed and by word, Washington addressed Hanoi last week in unwonted concert. The message was clear.

Otherwise the combativeness was limited mostly to vigorous flag-waving and the legends blazoned on hand-lettered signs. There were, of course, hyper-hawks galore, toting signs reading "Bomb Haiphong" and "Drop peaceniks on Hanoi." One banner proclaimed: "Ho Chi Minh is a fink-give...
