President Nixon will not tell them that their country is destroying Vietnam to protect a corrupt and despicable tyrant who fought with the French army against his own people in 1954. He will not tell them that President Thieu and his string of predecessors have failed to win the support of the people of South Vietnam because they realize that they need only the support of the United States to remain in power. He will not tell them that Viet Minh (the direct ancestor of the National Liberation Front) was the only group to mount an effective resistance against...
...Rubbing salt in the Republican wounds, Democratic National Chairman Jean Westwood called the GAO report "the bare outlines of the largest and possibly most corrupt set of financial dealings in the history of American presidential politics." Taking the counteroffensive, Republican National Chairman Robert Dole demanded that the GAO look into the Democratic funds as well.

George McGovern lost no time in charging that Nixon "has manipulated Mr. Kissinger and American public opinion to appear to be negotiating, when actually he has been stalling to prop up General Thieu and his corrupt military regime in Saigon." Speculation both in Washington and Saigon, however, focused on the real possibility of a cease-fire being arranged, with the U.S. agreeing to halt the bombing and mining of the North in return for P.O.W.s. But any such exchange might still be weeks away, at least. In his talks with Kissinger, Thieu resisted any cease-fire plan that...
...successful pursuit of The Stick and finding his "search object", Det. Butler--ends in disaster. A case is brought against him by the Department for Butler's death: and in the despondence of knowing he has failed, Bo hands himself in a jail cell. It is doubly ironic: a corrupt Department brings about the death of one of its few honest lieges, a death which preceeds the dismissal of the Department's homicide charges by a few hours...
