Last spring when the Yearbook decided to write about the older members of the Harvard faculty including Crane Brinton, the article concluded, "To mark the passing of a great man is not to strike a mournful note, but merely to reflect upon the time-table of a career. For every end there is always, somewhere, a new beginning; and it is a funny but accepted truth that the many who start are always overshadowed by the few who finish...

But the war itself has been messy and formless, and the from-the-ground-up solution might reflect Vietnamese realities to a much greater extent than the alternatives. At this juncture, it is difficult to imagine the Thieu government or the Communists agreeing to work together in a larger political process. One of the two might do so if it felt that the odds of settlement were clearly tilted...
