...press of late has been proudly recounting the life story of 45-year-old Nguyen Thi Dinh, who has been a guerrilla since 1940, now has risen to the rank of deputy commander as well as member of the National Liberation Front presidium. Nguyen Thi Dinh got her Communist apprenticeship in the V.C.'s Women's Liberation Association, which functions in thousands of South Vietnamese villages. The W.L.A. is a kind of Viet Cong ladies' aid: besides nagging government officials, the ladies write letters to boys drafted into the South Vietnamese army urging them to defect, recounting...
