...complex package had been worked out by Kissinger and Hanoi's Le Duc Tho in Paris apparently without Thieu's approval, and Kissinger's arrival in Saigon with the agreement spurred Thieu into a frenzy of defensive activity. Emerging from his near imperial isolation, he began reaching out for public support. He turned up at a Saigon youth rally to rail against "henchmen of the Communists." He gave dinners for a variety of officials and legislators, some of them opposition figures he normally scorns-or jails. He ordered banners placed in Saigon bearing his contention that...
...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."

...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...
