...macabre carnival of the '60s has long since subsided, although it worked profound changes in America. It remains a question, though, what lessons were carried away from Viet Nam on those last helicopters (see Opinion, page 20). And how Americans finally feel about the aftermath will partly depend on how the victors act in Indochina...
...fairly long transition period, about three to five years. Mme. Binh herself last week emphasized that North-South differences "in the economic and political field" will require "a certain period of time to realize reunification." Highly capitalistic and individualistic, the South will no doubt have to undergo some profound changes before it can be successfully assimilated into the socialist, collectivist society of the North.

And it may even turn out--if Americans are watchful--that President Ford was right, that the evacuation of Americans from Saigon closed "a chapter in the American experience." But for all its profound repercussions for the rest of the world, Tuesday's triumph belongs to the Vietnamese, first and foremost. To focus on the repercussions would be perverse, in the way that it was sick to talk of the Vietnam War as an American tragedy, creating turmoil and division in the United States...
