...government does seem to be making inroads. To convert a single hamlet from a rating of V even to D requires not only tons of ammunition, miles of barbed wire and nightly counterinsurgency ambushes, but also vast amounts of cement, tin, fertilizer, sweat and blood. The hamlet of Trinh Phu is a case in point. One year ago, government troops entered Trinh Phu for the first time in a decade. To look at pacification in terms of people rather than printouts, TIME Correspondent James Willwerth paid a visit to Trinh Phu, a partially pacified hamlet with a D rating...

As Foreign Minister from 1963 until his removal two years later for undisclosed-and hitherto unnoticed-"health reasons," Thuy mouthed Hanoi's message, glad-handed visitors, and facelessly executed orders from above. He was replaced by Nguyen Duy Trinh, a pro-Peking hardliner.
