Escape? For four months, the three men, tightly bound, were paraded through villages and hamlets as living displays of "captured imperialist aggressors." On Dec. 26, after signing statements supporting the Viet Cong, Grainger's two companions were released. They reported that the American was still in captivity, chained and guarded in a remote cave. He was in good health, they said; the Viet Cong had fed them well and had scrupulously deducted the cost of their food from the money taken from them...
Sought Bridge. Perhaps the first irony was that private Russian initiative developed Alaska for the imperialist Czars.

Ironically, the fading of the "imperialist" enemy, a menace that the Communists try so hard to keep alive, aggravates the crisis.

Your scheming, unprovoked stand "behind this whole movement to sweep the West off the peninsula," the peaceloving West which has never so much as megatonned a single Chinese city, and which has even borne the exorbitantly expensive burden of dominating South Vietnam for the last 11 years when this...
