...Company took part in the madness. At My Lai, Ridenhour reported, one soldier shot himself in the foot so that he would be Medevacked out of the area. A few others, himself included, says Bernhardt, refused to fire. That evening, he said, his company commander told him "not to do anything like write my Congressman...
...rock bottom now in these talks, so it doesn't really make any difference who sits around that table," one frustrated American official commented in Paris. The view from Washington seems similar and that helps explain why President Nixon last week accepted-"with great regret and warmest thanks"-Henry Cabot Lodge's resignation as chief U.S. negotiator at the deadlocked Paris peace talks.

If he does so, he will be alone in a way that neither his brothers nor his father could ever have anticipated. For now, with a tragic theatrical economy-assassins on cue, the paterfamilias dying like Priam after seeing his sons slaughtered, the calendar neatly pinching off the decade-the myth of the Kennedys is at least temporarily ended...
