...analysts no longer doubt the NVA'S ability to achieve total military victory within a few months, if not sooner. In the past month, General Van Tien Dung, the NVA'S Chief of Staff and a disciple of the legendary Vo Nguyen Giap (mastermind of the Viet Minn's 1954 victory at Dien Bien Phu and of the 1968 Tet offensive), has demonstrated an impressive ability to coordinate infantry, artillery and armor.

For nearly seven years, she could not bend her neck or back: her torso was held rigid from the chin to the pelvis by a cumbersome steel and leather brace.
