Said a high embassy official later: "The old man had to lean on him and substantially." The casual, colloquial phrase summed up a momentous fact: the U.S. was finally forced to abandon the man on whom for years it had staked its Viet Nam policy???and, indeed, finally forced to abandon Viet Nam. Even as Ambassador Martin returned to his embassy, the last remnants of the once mighty American presence, the few thousand citizens who remained in the country, were hastening to Tan Son Nhut airport for evacuation flights home.

It draws heavily on reports by Correspondents Herman Nickel, who covered the State Department, Simmons Fentress, who spent most of the week at the White House, and Washington Bureau Chief Hugh Sidey, who provided an analysis of the President's handling of the crisis...
...Real Ball Game. Fully 40% of the Democratic delegates stood in opposition to the Administration's policy???and by implication, Humphrey's. Even so, the Viet Nam uproar proved no real threat to the Vice President's hopes of gaining the nomination. The greatest threat came, instead, in an evanescent move to draft Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy...
