...amount of American aid can guarantee the freedom of Viet Nam," said U.S. Presidential Envoy Joseph Lawton Collins last month, "unless the Vietnamese are determined to be free." Last week General Collins flew back to Washington bearing news of considerable Vietnamese determination. "Things are looking up in South Viet Nam," reported the New York Herald Tribune's Homer Bigart at the same time. "The odds on holding the place, quoted at no better than one in ten a month ago, are now reduced to one in five." One of the reasons for the changing odds-adverse though they still...
...student is required to take Sweet Briar's own courses, unless so directed by his college or university. These courses are given, for the most part, by professors from the faculties of the University of Paris, the Ecole do Louvre, and the Comedie Francaise.

Now, wasn't this dismissal of the mastermind of the program a colossal mistake...

He raised rents in Government housing and admissions to national parks, told agencies to charge for supplying copies of records. He would replace no Government car unless it had six years and 60,000 miles of service, and he never replaced his own official car. His idea was to get a medium-priced make, at no cost to taxpayers, from among those legally seized from dope peddlers. But there was a flaw in his calculation: the dope peddlers...
