...Chicago speech before the faithful from the Cook County Democratic machine, he fired off a petulant homily that struck most observers as intemperate, ill-timed and self-serving. Instead of offering a rational discussion of the Administration's reaction to the desperate idiosyncrasies reflected in Premier Nguyen Cao Ky's latest political move (see THE WORLD), Johnson launched a round house counterpunch at U.S. critics of his Viet Nam policy...
...South Viet Nam itself, very little of equal value was happening. In a panic-stricken debacle along Saigon's Hai Ba Trung Street U.S. military police opened fire on a truckload of civilian dockworkers and killed six of them. In Danang far to the north, Premier Nguyen Cao Ky made an even more quaking move: a group of Vietnamese marines "invaded" Danang and quietly established control over the major center of Buddhist political unrest, then lounged peacefully on the grass. That quietude may well be shattered by Buddhist riots. From Saigon to the Red Chinese border, the elements...

The Directory's caution was probably well-advised. Coup rumors were even thicker than usual, and Viet Nam's Catholics showed signs that they may pick up the troublemaking...
...Naturally, we must prepare ourselves, and those who have not already done so must do so now. However, let me emphasize that I personally believe and hope that the elections will not yield a Buddhist majority. I wish that any Vietnamese Catholic, Hoa Hao, Cao Dai and Protestant who has proved his sense of loyalty to the people and wishes to serve the people could be elected. What I would like to see as a result of this election is an equity for all, not a predominance for anyone. After all, Diem's assembly was elected with a predominance...
