Originally, South Viet Nam's President Thieu requested a session with President Nixon in Washington. Secretary of State William Rogers, on a visit to Saigon, suggested a rendezvous halfway. The danger of antiwar demonstrations, at least, should be absent at the U.S.-owned garrison isle of Midway. Regardless of the setting, the Midway meeting-designed to align U.S. and South Vietnamese positions for the peace negotiations-may well be more important than any of the five previous summits that have punctuated...

Moderates will be reassured by Kunen's self-doubts--his hones confessions, for instance, that should the war end, he might have nothing left to hate.
