...spokesman for the executive branch (see following story). Harvard's Henry A. Kissinger, a former foreign-affairs adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, was sought to take over Walt Rostow's job as chief staff director of the National Security Council. Kissinger has been the nation's foremost theoretician of "limited war" and flexible response to prevent Communist aggression. Last summer, however, Kissinger helped to draw up Rockefeller's four-point formula suggesting steps to de-Americanize the war in Viet...
This Jonah was no theoretician. He was, wrote old School Friend Cyril Connolly recently, "a political animal [who] could not blow his nose without moralizing on conditions in the handkerchief industry."

Born in Tonkin, Tho helped Ho found the Indo-Chinese Communist Party in 1929, served long sentences at penal labor under the French, and lived for many years in the South. Harddriving, ascetic and tough, Tho is believed to have purged the party in South Viet...
