...corner was Saigon's Foreign Minister Tran Van Lam; in another stood Major General Le Quang Hoa, Hanoi's top man at the JMC, chatting amiably with Lieut. General Gilbert Woodward, his crusty American counterpart. "After the first 60 days of the cease-fire are over," Hoa told Woodward, "you must come to visit Hanoi." Woodward guffawed, then glowered at an eavesdropping journalist...
...most unlikely assemblage of foreign ministers under the glittering chandeliers of Paris' Hotel Majestic. Russia's Andrei Gromyko showed his distress at having to sit next to South Viet Nam's Tran Van Lam, who, in turn, frowned at the Viet Cong's Madame Nguyen Thi Binh. China's Chi Pengfei avoided even looking toward Gromyko, but chatted congenially with William Rogers, who affably courted both Chi and Gromyko.

Now Lansky faces a charge of income tax evasion and one of skimming the profits...

His blue and white presidential 707 was forced to land at a military airbase well outside the city because the runway at Hanoi's Gia Lam airport is too short. The area surrounding Hanoi's airfield is leveled, and many bridges are still out. The 30-minute motorcade of curtained black Russian sedans had to cross a plank-covered steel pontoon bridge over the Red River to enter Hanoi...
