...President on the 18-hour, 8,600-mile trip from Washington were Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, other top aides and two jetloads of reporters. In from Saigon flew U.S. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, General William Westmoreland and South Viet Nam's Premier Nguyen Cao Ky and President Nguyen Van Thieu...

This week the U.S. psychological-warfare team-to which Nguyen Van Be is indeed a hero-will begin distributing some 7,000,000 leaflets and 100,000 posters in both South and North Viet Nam showing Nguyen Van Be posing beside Communist newspapers headlining his fictitious martyrdom. More than one-third of the leaflets will be dropped over North Viet Nam, where the government recently erected a statue in downtown Hanoi showing Comrade Be holding his mine overhead at the precious instant of immortality...
