Last week he declared that the shortest road to settlement might lie within South Viet Nam itself-and that the two parties to travel it first should not be Washington and Hanoi but the Saigon government and the rebel Viet Cong. The trouble was that the South Vietnamese President and his colleagues -not to mention the Viet Cong-seemed reluctant to make the trip...
Under Momyer, the number of tactical air sorties over both North and South have doubled, and the general keeps track of them all with a Mc-Namaran touch for thoroughness and detail that constantly awes his subordinates in Saigon.

In their luggage are the two pairs of boots that wallowed through the Clutters' blood...
