...major turn-around of his views since 1965, when he last visited Viet Nam. "Continued optimism cannot be justified," he said. "The objectives we set forth to justify our initial involvement, while still defensible, are now less clear and less attainable than they seemed in the past. The pattern of destruction we are creating can only make a workable political future more difficult; and the government we are supporting has given us no indication that it can win the lasting confidence of its own people...

It is hard for a visitor to try to resolve any pattern in daily life, any sign that people care about the country, or the government, or any kind of unit bigger than a family. Adzope has the accouterments of civilization, but that often appears very irrelevant. It has had enough French education to be able to go through the motions, but occasionally something happens to show how thin the veneer really...
