...Democratic Congress is not likely to cut social programs, at least not as deeply as Ford is urging. Nor is Congress expected to regroup these programs into big packages-known as "block grants"-and hand them over to the states to be administered as the Governors see fit. Neither is Congress likely to increase Social Security taxes by as much as Ford proposes, give the Pentagon all that Ford is asking, or raise fees for Medicare patients. The prospect is for a series of fights between Congress and the President, with election-year realities forcing Ford to back...
Except for the militiamen, who were gleeful and voluble in victory, the town was almost empty. Its defenders had retreated southward to regroup. Almost all civilians had fled to nearby Saadiyat, Chamoun's seaside estate, which was also surrounded by leftist troops. Later, a small fleet of yachts and coastal steamers picked up the thousands of refugees and carried them to Juniyah, a large Christian stronghold north of the capital...

Perhaps the major dilemma facing Hanoi is whether to go for a quick, immediate strike at the capital-or whether to proceed step-by-step, which would allow ARVN more time to regroup and rebuild some of its shattered divisions. Actually, Hanoi has a third option: hoping that Saigon will fall without a fight anyway. "We do not want our compatriots to die if we can obtain our objectives by other means," declared Mme. Nguyen Thi Binh, the Provisional Revolutionary Government's Foreign Minister...
