...elections as a means of tightening administration and providing more effective services. But, as usual in Viet Nam, the real explanation is more complex. Since the Easter offensive began, a number of hamlet chiefs have made accommodations with the Communists. The new decree will permit Thieu to appoint more loyal replacements. More important, this decree, along with the others, will strengthen his hand for the rough-and-tumble politicking that undoubtedly would follow a cease-fire (the North Vietnamese have repeatedly insisted that any cease-fire agreement must include Thieu's removal).

...Vietnamese have been relying primarily on the use of small units, though their soldiers are frequently supported by tanks and long-range 130-mm. guns. In many sections of the Mekong Delta, as a result of steadily mounting pressure from the small units of Communist troops, security for civilians loyal to the government has all but vanished.

Bagdikian concedes the Post's relative virtue, but told TIME: "There's a feeling here that I should be loyal to the management. When they first put me in this job, they assured me that my first loyalty would be to the readers." By returning to free-lance criticism, he will now have the full freedom that he craves. Doubtless he will write about the Post in the future; he still...
