Saigon Bureau Chief Stanley Cloud can serve as Exhibit A of the work ethic in journalism. "In Viet Nam," he says, "correspondents routinely labor twelve hours a day. When you are not covering the story, you are writing about it; when you are not writing about it, you are talking about it." Late last week the Saigon bureau learned the outlines of the secret peace plan reliably reported to have been developed in Paris. Cloud's report became the principal part of our cover story on the negotiations. Timothy James, a veteran of many late-breaking stories...
...Huyen, the president of the South Vietnamese Senate and an occasional critic of Thieu, openly declared his hope that "he will remain in power to keep stability." Huyen added: "I don't say the U.S. is deserting us, but something very disquieting is happening." TIME Bureau Chief Stanley Cloud cabled: "For the first time in his political career, Thieu has become a truly sympathetic character. Even his opponents have expressed support for him as he apparently attempts to resist American pressures and plug the holes in the badly leaking boat of his presidency. The Vietnamese have a highly developed...
...Kissinger approach has any validity at all, however, the lesser issues should fall into place once the big problems are settled. Those big problems of peace in Indochina have not been resolved-at least not yet-by any means, but Kissinger's idea is catching on quickly.

To the South Vietnamese the political questions are secondary-at least for the moment-to the almost unbearable temptation to hope for the best. Such hopes do not come easily...
...SELF-STYLED avant-gardistes roar back: No! We live in fragmented times, and any work of the Cinemah that intends to be critically truthful must reflect that fragmentation by making criticism of "bourgeois forms" part of the "data" imparted to an audience. (Every well-meaning cloud-nine intellectual should be required to serve in a factory of a chain gang.) Thus, say Sontag and Poirier, the most important films of the past decade have been the political works of Godard and Rocha, even though these guys are in the baby league as far as politicians go. For my money...
...Vietnamese and Viet Cong occupied seven hamlets near Saigon at the beginning of last week; South Vietnamese forces recaptured some hamlets but only after they were pounded to rubble by U.S. bombers. The assault on Phnom-Penh was also timed to have the maximum psychological impact, TIME Correspondent Stanley Cloud reported from the Cambodian capital last week. It coincided with both the Buddhist "Festival of the Dead," when Cambodians commemorate their ancestors, and the second anniversary of the Khmer Republic, which was founded seven months after the ouster of Prince Norodom Sihanouk...
