If the political leadership can equal these men, we're going to bring this war to an end on the right basis, and before long." Of the South Vietnamese, he said: "They are going to make it."

But it didn't work for me. The censors always managed to bring me to my knees. My anxiety to save at least something from what I had written, so that something would reach the reader, meant only that in the end all mv published writings were neither genuine literature nor utterly contemptible but something in between...
