...defendants in the espionage trial were hardly the most dangerous of spies. Ronald Humphrey, 42, emerged in the testimony as a naive, lovelorn officer in the U.S. Information Agency whose lawyer insisted he never meant to harm the U.S. although he delivered Government documents to a foreign agent. David Truong, 32, a Vietnamese peace activist, said he simply wanted to help effect a rapprochement between the U.S. and his homeland...
Much of the evidence used in the case against Truong and Humphrey, accused of passing classified documents to Communist Viet Nam, was developed after bugging devices and a hidden camera revealed the conspiracy. Even though Congress is now considering a bill to ban warrantless surveillance, the Justice Department wanted to pursue its case in the courts. If Truong and Humphrey could be convicted and their conviction sustained on appeal, U.S. Presidents could continue to order the surveillance of suspected foreign espionage agents without prior court approval...
...year ago an intelligence review uncovered what one investigator called "one of the worst leaks in State Department history."

He flew to Danang for consultations with ARVN'S best field commander, Lieut. General Ngo Quang Truong, and decided to carry out plans that apparently had been drawn up months ago: to pull back the main line of defense from Quang Tri and probably Thua Thien provinces down to the coastal city of Danang. General Truong had already lost the backbone of his defense the week before when Thieu ordered 4,000 men of South Viet...
Last week Thieu finally broke his long public silence, but he did so in a characteristically detached way. Just before he was due to make a national television speech of encouragement to his people, he spoke to General Ngo Quang Truong. ARVN commander in the northermost Military Region I. Perhaps realizing the seriousness of the military situation for the first time, Thieu first canceled the speech but then gave it a day later...
