...years ago, Saigon's Buddhists asked the government for a license to celebrate the occasion in the city's central market. Ky and the generals agreed, provided that no more than 600 took part and that there was no antigovernment tone to it. Saigon Buddhist Leader Thich Tam Chau promised as much-or as little. But several thousand gathered at the market, led by five well-known agitators. They pinned up pictures of Ky and other generals on the stakes used for public executions, together with a sign that read: "This is the plaza of demagogy. Ky, Thieu...

A Buddhist-dominated Assembly would bring into the streets Viet Nam's four other major religious groups: the Catholics, the Hoa Hao, the Cao Dai and the Protestants.

Hunger of Sorts. At that very moment, before 100 newsmen, Buddhist Political Chief Thich Tam Chau announced that he and four other monks had decided to "fast to the death if necessary, to protest against the cruel Huong regime." The five, including Thich Tri Quang, firebrand leader of Buddhists in Hué, took up positions sitting or lying side by side inside Saigon's main pagodas. It was hardly a bed of nails. Their pallets were comfortable foam-rubber mattresses draped with mosquito netting. Beside the fasters were handy slices of fruit and glasses of pale, cold tea, prompting...
