...whir of flapping helicopter blades, South Viet Nam's President Nguyen Van Thieu arrived at the last minute to add his own farewells. "The fact that the South Vietnamese army can now start to replace U.S. troops constitutes both your success and our success," said Thieu in English. "I convey to you all the heartfelt gratitude of the free Vietnamese." Then, at last, the battalion wheeled to the left and marched across the runway to board the waiting airplanes.

Success for the banks depends on wide circulation of the cards among people who will use them to finance big-ticket purchases. Customers are assessed no fee if they pay their bills to the bank within 30 days; thereafter, the interest mounts at 1½ % a month.
