...year and a half since he vaulted from the cockpit of a fighter-bomber to become South Viet Nam's Premier, Northern-born Nguyen Cao Ky, 36, has shown a remarkable adaptability to the art of Asian politics.

Holt visited Lyndon Johnson in Washington, dropped in on Australia's 4,500 troops in South Viet Nam, conferred with Saigon's Premier Nguyen Cao Ky.
