...Thanks, Yankees." Back in Saigon, Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and the other generals of the ruling Directory were also notably quiet, making no speeches and rarely appearing in public. Their only visible act last week was the dismissal of the head of the national police, an appointee of ousted Buddhist I Corps Commander Nguyen Chanh Thi, who was replaced by one of Ky's loyal Air Force colonels. 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...
...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.

Last week he scored another triumph, this time over the Directory of generals headed by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky. It was no small feat, since the generals comprise the combined armed might of South Viet Nam, but Tri Quang is armed with his own powerful weapons: an unerring instinct for politics, a perfect sense of timing and a control over his followers that borders on the charismatic...
...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...
