In the Senate, Ohio Democrat Stephen Young blasted her as "arrogant" and "viciously anti-American." At a Cleveland banquet, Ohio's Democratic Congressman Wayne Hays growled, "It's bad enough that every two-bit dictator around the world reviles and insults the U.S. at will, but it is too much to let this comic-strip Dragon Lady do it under our very noses." One high State Department official, noting that Mme. Nhu had been invited...
