...them as a human shield. Rather than kill women and children, as they had done in a similar situation last year, South Vietnamese troops tried to knock out everybody with gas. They failed because of adverse winds, and had to retreat.

"In my country we have real socialism, for three-fourths of our population go barefoot...
