Though no one has yet found a cure for the nation's agonizing dementia politica, Dr. Quat has at least made a start. Since he accepted the premiership in the waning days of General Khanh's regime, Quat has moved with agility and a refreshing absence of dogmatism to ease tensions among South Viet Nam's neurotically suspicious interest groups. To be sure, the Buddhist-Catholic split still gapes awesomely, the warlords of the Armed Forces Council still intrigue among themselves, and South Viet Nam's 40 political parties are constantly quarreling...
...steady action for more than a year with hardly a break. Even with the artillery and air support that was lacking at critical moments in Viet An, troops so weary could hardly be expected to perform with skill in the grinding day-in-day-out war.

He freed Gannon and Lenti on the ground that the hazing law is not "so explicit that all men subject to its penalties may know what act it is their duty to avoid...
...emancipated and ignorant slaves. Ever since, the South has rested part of its case against the Negroes on the fallout from this great Northern mistake. If only the conquerors had been understanding-so goes the argument-if only they had let Southern leaders work out their own salvation and cure, then those very recent chapters called Little Rock and Montgomery and Selma might never have followed the Reconstruction into the history books...
