...Gaulle's plans for neutralization of Viet Nam and the whole region look attractive on the surface. He plausibly speaks of a political solution where a military one is impossibly difficult, of giving the countries involved another choice besides the often deadly one between Communism or the U.S. Appealing though the thought might be for the U.S. to get out of what, at best, can only be more years, if not decades, of fighting, the French plan breaks down because a neutral area so close to Red China and already so deeply infiltrated by Communists seems unthinkable...

Father Leander Wapshot's wonderful journal (found in a trunk in the attic) recites like a Greek chorus the ancient obligations to race and region. He had taught his sons to "fell a tree, sow, cultivate and harvest, save money, countersink a nail, make cider with a hand press, clean a gun, sail a boat, etc." But Leander was defeated in his patriarch's role when his ferryboat was beached by women and turned into...
