In Seoul, as balloons held aloft huge Vietnamese and Korean flags, he warned against "a false peace, a counterfeit peace." South Korea's tough President Chung Hee Park, who has sent 50,000 of his own men to South Viet Nam, agreed with his guest that a coalition with the Viet Cong was out of the question and that recognition of the legitimacy of the present government would...
