...Dissent. Koningsberger found the people looking well fed and clothed. Shops seemed well stocked; there was no "atmosphere of scarcity," despite contradictory evidence of rationed rice and cloth. No "blue ants slaving away" -except for the familiar "drag coolies" hauling inhuman loads of coal and pig iron. No beggars anywhere, no flies even on manure heaps. The countryside appeared to be the immemorial land of the peasant-few motor highways, trucks or tractors but plenty of human feet treadling water wheels. Soldiers with guns nowhere to be seen. In short, "the daily comings and goings of the people look terribly...
Tragic & Unnecessary. It was the kind of demagoguery that Buddhist zealots understood. Only a few hours later in Saigon, Laywoman Ho Thi Thieu, 58, set herself afire as a protest against "the inhuman actions of Generals Thieu and Ky, henchmen of the Americans."

In his first few months as Premier, he was several times so depressed by the complexities of the job that he threatened to resign. He also complained to U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, with whom...
...situation, at least, in Europe. In Asia we hoped to reach a similar implicit understanding with China: no big wars, and a firm division of territory. But in trying to stretch our model of the international system into Asia, Oglesby argues, we exposed some of its most inhuman possibilities. The principles which gave Western Europe a benevolent heaven of Marshall aid yielded in Asia a napalm-filled bell...
