...uneasiness still simmer. The five northernmost provinces that comprise the I Corp are, in fact, still largely in open rebellion against the Saigon government and completely removed from its control. Pleading for moderation, Tri Quang tried to calm the northern cries for Ky's immediate ouster. Speaking in Hue, he said bluntly: "Your demands do not meet the general consensus, so you must curb them. That is the first start of a democracy." Next day, addressing a crowd of 10,000, including 2,000 soldiers, at the Dieu Da Pagoda, the fiery-eyed monk argued that "what we want...
...Quang repeated this theme in village after village in the I Corps, but the response was grudging. Though he asked for markets and schools to be reopened in Hue, all he got was a reluctant promise from the rebels to forgo any antigovernment demonstrations for the time being. Even so, there was trouble. In the pleasant mountain resort of Dalat, students kidnaped the commander of the local Vietnamese garrison and held him for 24 hours.

The interpreter was Than Trong Hue, a Vietnamese member of the TIME staff, who addressed the monk with the "venerable" title reserved for the Buddhist clergy. Tri Quang was clad in a hospital gown, white pantaloons, and brown leather sandals...
...week screeching street mobs, urged on by the same Buddhist monks who ignited the 1963 uprisings that led to the murder of Ngo Dinh Diem, rampaged out of control in Saigon, Danang, Hue and other cities. This time they were baying for the end of South Viet Nam's ten-man Military Directory and, in particular, for the ouster of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky (see THE WORLD). Through it all, the Administration maintained a meticulous, almost relaxed air of calm in the eye of the storm...
