Former Premier Tran Van Huong, the most popular civilian candidate for the presidency, refused to leave his seaside villa at Vung Tau because he feared that Loan's men would assassinate him. Increasingly, Ky's actions alarmed both South Viet Nam's top military officers and U.S. Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker. During a luncheon two weeks ago, Bunker gave the Premier a stern talking-to, warned him that he was undermining the fairness and legality...
