Sugar-Coating the Pill. The one possible outcome of the talks that the South Vietnamese government absolutely refuses to countenance is a coalition with the Communists. Truong Dinh Dzu, the presidential runner-up in last year's elections, was arrested last week for openly advocating coalition. Nonetheless, many members of the government have long maintained covert contacts with the Viet Cong and its political arm, the National Liberation Front, which is directed by Nguyen Huu Tho, a onetime Saigon lawyer who runs the front from a jungle redoubt. In many cases, the contacts are the residue of common cause...
...addition, the decentralization of North Viet Nam's primitive industry has proved a boon to the rural economy; the factories may never be pulled back into Hanoi and Haiphong and Nam Dinh. Bringing back into Hanoi the 400,000 people who were evacuated would also raise large food-distribution problems. They were moved out in the first place not just because of the bombing but to take them to the rice areas, so that rice would not have to be shipped into the city and thus require transport that could otherwise be used for war goods.

...firmer measure can be taken - even though the final, definitive picture may not emerge for some months yet. For military and administrative purposes, South Viet Nam is divided into four corps areas that run from north to south, plus the special capital zone of Saigon and surrounding Gia Dinh province. Last week TIME sent a team of five correspondents from its Saigon bureau, one to each of the corps areas and the capital zone, to find out just how much havoc the Communist at tacks had wrought, and what the allies are doing to repair it.

...total of nearly 19,000 structures were destroyed in the city itself, and more than 2,300 in Gia Dinh province. All told, the capital district has 206,000 new refugees living in 114 temporary quarters and camps. It will probably take eight months to find adequate new housing for them all. For once, the Saigonese have given the government good marks-for its prompt aid to the refugees. There has also been a noticeable decrease in neutralism among the populace, which seems to be swinging more toward antiCommunism. The South Vietnamese army is getting an unprecedented average...
...just beginning. The schools will reopen within a month. CORDS officials are trying to organize commercial convoys-fleets of trucks guarded by military vehicles-over the enemy-interdicted roads. Some 70% of the R.D. workers have returned to their posts but, in some provinces, such as Kien Giang, Phong Dinh and Kien Phong, there is no chance of a return. The Viet Cong pressure is just too heavy...
