...refugee tide could not be explained in such rational terms. "It was hard to say what started it," said a Catholic priest who had escaped from one of the suddenly lost provinces of South Viet Nam, "but panic set off panic." The flight seemed to overtake everything in its path, engulfing military commanders as well as shopkeepers, peasants and schoolteachers. It uprooted entire towns and villages overnight, causing even greater fear.

On the way he assumed the countenance and the stature of a prophet, sweeping all objections from his path. A feral magnetism began to animate his face and conversation. Philosopher Martin Buber was later to recall him as "a statue without error or mistake, a countenance lit with the glance of the Messiah." Freud claimed that he had seen Herzl in a dream before they met. Others were less impressed...
