He has taken over control of Saigon's sloppy port security, sharply reducing theft and graft, is currently using his National Police to clean up An Khanh, a shantytown across the Saigon River that seethes with smugglers and bandits. Southerners accuse him of building a police state. "Hell, no," he says. "We don't even have enough gasoline to keep...
...whirl through American units stationed all over the country. He listened to reports on Operation Irving from Air Cav officers in the central swamplands, watched A-4 Skyhawks being catapulted off the deck of the carrier Oriskany, paid brief visits to Danang, Cu Chi and the rapidly building military port of Cam Ranh Bay.

A nominal Catholic, like the scientist, he plays the espionage game as a man who has withdrawn from both sides-a disillusioned and cynical neutralist, proud of his prowess in bed and at table. Aboard a ship bearing him to a Russian Black Sea port, Hillier gorges himself at both. In a stateroom, he literally tangles with an extraordinarily supple Indian girl who is an expert at the extracurricular forms to which the Kama Sutra is only a primer.
