(The role, by the way, bears fruitful comparison with that of Macbeth...
...select workers -and then a ration of only three-quarters of a pound per week. Even coal and steel production, of which Hanoi was once so proud, is lagging. And though Ho Chi Minh continues to direct and aid the subversive war against South Viet Nam, for all his bluster he seems nervous about the possibility of stepped-up U.S. support of Saigon-or the war's being carried to his own country...
