...must not fall into their trap to, in effect, overthrow ourselves. I do not see any circumstance in which we must change the government, except when the people of South Viet Nam say, "We don't want Thieu and Vice President Ky any longer."

...heart attack; in Khartoum. A veteran of British colonial jails, Azhari was elected Prime Minister in 1954 following the pullout of British troops, and guided the Sudan to full independence in 1956. Toppled from power six months later, he bided his time until 1964, when he helped overthrow the country's military dictatorship and a short time later emerged as the Sudan's first President only to be overthrown himself in May of this year. "In a backward country, prison is the politician's university," he once said, "and I graduated...
