Bao Dai, the puffy-faced Vietnamese Chief of State who obeys his French protectors, peremptorily summoned Diem to the Riviera, obviously intending to dismiss him. French officialdom told newsmen that Diem was a washout and should be dropped. "The sequence of [the French] reasoning seems to be thus," one Vietnamese official wrote to the New York Times.
