...some deceptive ways Saigon seems not to have changed. The nostalgic visitor can still order a Grand Marnier Souffle in a good French restaurant or go to the Rex Hotel on Saturday night and dance with a lissome girl in a pastel ao dai. But such moments are illusory. The Marxist regime of the North makes its presence felt down to the naming of streets and buildings. The elegant Caravelle Hotel is now the Independence.

Kimelman and his brother-in-law acquired the distributorships of a number of name-brand liquors, including Cherry Heering, Grand Marnier and J & B Scotch. When the Johnson Administration tried to ease the nation's balance of payments deficit by chopping, from a gallon to a quart, the nontaxable liquor allowance for Americans returning from abroad, Kimelman helped lead the successful fight to keep the one-gallon rule...
