...late August, newspaper seizures for the year totaled 291. Since then, up to the time the polls closed last week, there were nearly 200 more, and virtually all victims were anti-Thieu papers. The wonder is that the regime bothers. Because of government corruption and inefficiency, the seizures seldom suppress a paper entirely, and because the Vietnamese press has a longstanding reputation for venality, relatively few people pay much attention to its attacks on Thieu in the first place...
...with unrestrained pleasure that Muller-who neither drinks nor smokes but freely uses four-letter words -refers to himself with the radical epithet Pig.

Whatever the specific strengths and weaknesses of the Pentagon history, its impact was clearly most damaging to Democrats, but the Nixon Administration's attempts to suppress the report made many Americans wonder about its motives. U.S. Attorney Whitney North Seymour conceded that "what the Government has done in this case is a terribly unpopular thing. We are villified on all sides." The impending prosecution of Ellsberg is certain to bring more abuse, as well as some praise, to the Administration...
