...Presidential Adviser Henry Kissinger arrived home last week after two days of secret negotiations in Paris with North Viet Nam's Le Due Tho, a high White House official confided that the two sides had been "talking seriously, very seriously." He also warned that "it would be wrong to conclude that a settlement is in sight." Apparently the North Vietnamese were coming forth with serious and detailed, if still secret proposals on how they would share power in the South...
...last week, the U.S. pounded the North with 370 missions, one of the heaviest strikes of the war. Just as actively, the Administration was busy trying to coax forth some negotiated settlement. National Security Affairs Adviser Henry Kissinger met in Paris with North Viet Nam's Le Due Tho for the 16th of their secret conferences.

...once, the South Vietnamese seemed to be following the strategy, long since adopted by the North Vietnamese, that Mao Tse-tung described as "fight-fight, talk-talk." As secret negotiations between Henry Kissinger and North Viet Nam's Le Duc Tho resumed in Paris last week (see TIME ESSAY), Saigon's forces were pursuing not one but two counteroffensives. In the northern part of the country, 20,000 South Vietnamese marines and airborne troops were continuing their cautious advance on North Vietnamese troops in Quang Tri province and its capital, the most important city to fall...
