Corps Commander Cao flew off to 1st Division headquarters near Hue in an effort to woo rebellious officers back to Ky's side, but no sooner had he ended his speech and climbed aboard the U.S. helicopter that was to return him to Danang than a South Vietnamese lieutenant took a shot at the chopper. An American machine gunner cut him down with a single burst...
...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."

...unusual private interview, one of the relatively few he has granted to Western newsmen, Thich Tri Quang talked for an hour last week with TIME Correspondents Frank McCulloch and James Wilde at his Saigon residence, a room in a maternity clinic. 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...
