...transition from military to civilian government in Saigon. This proposal is unlikely to get very far as long as the United States continues to cultivate Premier Ky's advice on military and pacification policy. More important, the United States should openly demonstrate to Hanoi that it emphatically does not insist on a pro-Western government in the South for the future and does not wish to destroy the North in the name of a vague anti-Red crusade...
Speed & Acid. Utopia on the Bay is bounded at one end by the greenery of Golden Gate Park, split down the middle by the fragrant eucalyptus trees of "The Panhandle."

Rothschild's famed financial house: "I insist that the track record of Ling-Temco-Vought demands respect. Judge this corporation on that record, and I couldn't care less whether I'm personally liked." Rothschild's got the point. Together with Wall Street's Lehman Bros., the British financiers raised the money for Ling to swing the Wilson deal...
