...Fighting Man (April 23, 1965), Ho Chi Minh (July 16, 1965), the Military Buildup (Oct. 22, 1965), General Harold K. Johnson (Dec. 10, 1965), Man of the Year Westmoreland (Jan. 7, 1966), the U.S. Peace Offensive (Jan. 14, 1966), Dean Rusk (Feb. 4, 1966), Premier Nguyen Cao...
This was no easy exercise, particularly for an Administration that prizes pragmatism above all. It had nonetheless succeeded so far.

Through it all ran the baleful influence of Viet Nam's powerful Buddhists, who have helped to topple four previous governments. This time, however, they were up against not only Premier Nguyen Cao Ky, but a whole Directory of tough and determined generals who did not mean to bend easily before the demands of Buddhist monks, particularly when many of the monks openly egged on the rioting mobs...
