Martin, who succeeded Ellsworth Bunker as Ambassador to South Viet Nam in 1973, has provided his enemies with ample ammunition. Distrustful of the press, which he blames for "distortions about Viet Nam that turned America inward," he has had some notable battles with U.S. correspondents in Saigon, whom he has shunned.* After Senator Edward Kennedy, in a letter to Kissinger, raised a series of questions about U.S. policy in Viet Nam, Ambassador Martin-in an undiplomatic cable to the State Department, that was predictably leaked from Washington to the press -replied: "I think it would be the height of folly...
...full drive into a gale and he was short. Moments later when I hit, my drive carried the green and almost landed out of play in the azaleas behind. The wind had died. It takes a 195-yd. hit, often with a one-iron, to carry the front bunker. The green is so big you've got to hit directly to the pin or risk three putts...
...fade your drive to the right, you've got an impossible downhill-sidehill shot that is at least two club numbers longer.

Originally, he prospered largely by battling for and winning Military Airlift...
...Division last week when it gained a new commander, Brigadier General Khy Hak. But the insurgents also fought well. TIME'S Stephen Heder reported the case of a rebel soldier, caught by machine gun fire that injured both his arms and legs, who lay wounded in a bunker for two days. On the third morning, Heder and three government soldiers found him. "Only when we came very close did we see his glaring face," said Heder. "His wounds had festered horribly, filling with squirming maggots. One of the soldiers leaned over and asked, 'What happened...
