...deepest sympathy to Mme. Ngo Dinh Nhu and her family. I wish to remind those who vilified her late husband and brother-in-law that they were perhaps far less guilty than those who set themselves up as their judges.

Nhu, repudiating all those stories of a villa on the Riviera and a bank account in Switzerland, told the press that she was without funds-except for money out of her reach in Viet Nam. She and Le Thuy moved into a four-room suite in the Bel Air mansion of Financier Allen Chase, who has vast investments in the Orient with TV Performer Art Linkletter, and was an occasional visitor at President Diem's palace...
