Against great difficulties, universities and some university programs do move forward. The heroic efforts of a number of Vietnamese officials who have taken initiative and who have stood fast in adversity encourage the survey team to believe that careful definitions of the authority and responsibility of boards, rectors, deans and other officials, accompanied by a stabilizing of their roles will enhance the possibilities of their leadership...
...theme is simple: a tough, heroic young revolutionary is transmogrified by power-and the fear of losing it-into a ruthless madman who rules his country with whims of hurricane force.

There has always seemed some special liklihood of this when the primitive emotions of war have been released. But this does not happen and will not happen when vast numbers, including an overwhelming proportion of the young and the articulate, are involved. One wonders, indeed...
