...Thieu's special emissary, Nguyen Phu Duc, flew to Washington to tell Nixon that Hanoi's concessions were insufficient. Nixon rejected nearly all of Duc's demands, which included a massive North Vietnamese troop withdrawal. But the President was still bothered about the DMZ; he told Kissinger to bring the issue up again in Paris...
...fate of Saigon's political prisoners is one of the most troublesome issues bedeviling the prospects of peace. Hanoi claims that the nine-point agreement worked out by Henry Kissinger and Le Due Tho provides that "all captured and detained personnel will be returned simultaneously with the U.S. troop withdrawal."

Staggering in its detail: deck plans, photographs and descriptions of machinery, interiors of accommodations. A brief, highly literate biography carries the great liner through World War II service as a troop transport (it accidentally rammed and sank a British cruiser in 1942), and into its sad second life as a tourist attraction in Long Beach, Calif. Ideal gift for those nostalgia collectors who have recently been buying artifacts from the Mary and her big sister Elizabeth at Texas prices...
