...Parliament, that touched off the crisis-and De Gaulle's ire-in the first place. The bait was a farm policy worth billions of dollars to French farmers. "Do they think we can be bought like Yemen or Italy?" De Gaulle is reported to have roared when he heard the proposal. The boycott was his answer...
...heard argument is that Ho should be left alone to reunify Viet Nam, since he would doubtless emerge as the Tito of Southeast Asia and hence become a man who could be dealt with reasonably by the West. This is wishful thinking. Ho does not have the 1,100 miles of buffer zone separating him from Red China that Tito had from Russia; nor has Peking's attitude toward North Viet Nam relaxed as Moscow's did toward Yugoslavia before the 1948 break.

When he was three years old he began to notice what he heard, and he would stop in the middle of his childhood activities to attend the materials of sound, some of which were in the environment, some of which sprung from his head in flights of strange dream ascensions. It wasn't unusual to see him fall as if struck and begin a concentration which might last ten or 15 minutes...
