The Paris accords call for "consultations in a spirit of national reconciliation and concord, mutual respect and mutual non-elimination." But, no less than the Communists, President Nguyen Van Thieu, who returned to Saigon last week from a trip abroad, still prefers to pursue a policy of elimination. So far he has shown far more political strength than anyone had thought he would immediately after the ceasefire.

But lately South Viet Nam's President Nguyen Van Thieu has been sounding a different note. By the time he arrives this week in San Clemente, Calif., to begin a six-day visit to the U.S., the man who has personally benefited most from a decade of American involvement in Indochina will have completed a remarkable transformation from a sore...
