...intends to use this popular participation in local affairs as a sturdy foundation on which to build a humane, socialist society in the South and eventually reunify with the North. Then, a united Vietnam can begin the long march toward industrialization. Vietnam's socialist principles, forged into a profound sincerity by the white heat of several decades of total war, are not likely to be left by the wayside. No society in the world has ever managed this combination of meaningful socialism with industrial progress.

The dimensions of crimes committed under the Nixon banner are now known and understood in some way by almost all Americans. -The history of this nation suggests that when profound moral issues like this one settle in the national soul, nothing will deny a final, convulsive resolution. Certainly the Civil War was such an issue. No fancy legal footwork or geographic compromises or maneuvers by politicians could prevent the final act of war. Perhaps the civil rights upheavals...
