One new arrival is Steve Shepley, a 27-year-old New Yorker, who is USAlD's action representative in the Delta province of An Xuyen. Puttering unarmed in a 35-h.p. boat through the Viet Cong-infested paddies, he visits village after village, chatting with the people in fluent Vietnamese, assessing their...
