...outraged response to his disdain, Nixon picked out an admonitory letter from Randy Dicks, a 19-year-old Georgetown University student, and made public his reply. "There is a clear distinction between public opinion and public demonstrations," Nixon wrote to Dicks. A demonstration, Nixon argued, expresses only the view of an organized minority; what the great mass of Americans feel may well be something else entirely...
After more than 20 years of warfare, the Communists would not be likely to take a charitable view of their stubborn opponents. Survivors of the war who were active in the Saigon regime would be in clear danger. How much danger is a matter of speculation. Pessimistic observers, like Columnist Joseph Alsop?a frequent visitor to South Viet Nam and still a hawk?believe the victims of execution could number as many as 1,500,000.

As a matter of fact, Henry Geldzahler can claim all that and more. He first came into public view-a quasi-somnambulant rotundity in prison stripes afloat in a rubber raft-in an Oldenburg Happening mounted in the swimming pool of a Manhattan health club. Next came instant stardom before a Warhol camera. His role: smoking a cigar for an interminable hour and a half. "I have a certain unusual look," says Henry...
