...business pile just in time to get the call to Washington and Camelot from the greatest gamesman of the all--President John F. Kennedy '40--and who stayed on to overanalyze the country into its most agonizing decade. Sound business tactics and calculated risks brought America into Vietnam and Cambodia, riots and recessions, and then into the Age of Nixon. Perhaps that last agony was America's reaction against gamesmanship, a return to the happy days of Commie-hunting and jungle-fighting. But the game was not over, even after the purge. And it is still going...
...Times's foreign reporting remains unrivaled among newspapers. Timesman Sydney Schanberg's files from Cambodia won a Pulitzer in 1976, and James Markham's dispatches last year from war-torn Beirut should have. But the Washington bureau, the fief of Arthur Krock in the 1940s and '50s, then James Reston in the '50s and '60s, was overshadowed during Watergate by the Washington Post, now its chief rival on the national scene. The New York paper has recovered somewhat, beating the Post to major Washington scoops about CIA domestic spying and drug experimentation on unwitting civilians. The Post has been giving...
...fundamental organization of our society and people must keep a historical perspective--miracles can't occur in just 25 years").

Hanoi has been unable to devote its full attention to these pockets of armed resistance because much of its army is tied down battling a onetime ally: Cambodia's Khmer Rouge, who are trying to annex Vietnamese districts contiguous to Cambodia in order to regain control over the tens of thousands of Cambodians who fled the new Phnom-Penh regime. Viet Nam's Quang Due province has been repeatedly attacked by the Khmer Rouge, while Hanoi's forces have made counterthrusts into Cambodia's Svay Rieng. Neither government seems to have clear control of Chau...
Captain Tadmor's humanitarian gesture called attention last week to the plight of some of the world's most neglected refugees. His 66 sea-weary passengers were Vietnamese-the most recent group of perhaps 300,000 refugees who have fled South Viet Nam, Cambodia and Laos since the Communist conquest. About 145,000 South Vietnamese were brought to the U.S. by American sea-and airlift after the regime of Nguyen Van Thieu in Saigon collapsed. The 90,000 Laotians who have slipped over the border to Thailand and an estimated 7,000 Cambodians live in wretched refugee camps...
