Against this rebellion which daily looks more like a civil war, Diem's "personalism" can not survive without massive American support. Since the Indo-Chinese war the U.S. has sunk about two billion dollars into his regime. Most of this, even before the recent months, has been for military purposes.

All around them is a happy blend of past and future: the green-lawned beauty of college "backs" on the River Cam, the sounds of Cantabs cheering on rowers with "Forward Christs!"-a way of life and learning...
