Counterespionage is apt at any time to burgeon into counter-counterespionage. At this game Adam Patch is about as subtle as a sand-lot quarterback. A Vietnamese doctor shows up, claiming to be a deserter from the Communists, with a plan for winning the countryside that the Reds have not yet seized. Although nothing reliable is known about him, Adam latches onto him as if he were the answer to a State Department prayer. Result: when the doctor...
