...city planner, Larry Reich, doubts its worth. "I'm convinced the Block isn't that much of an entertainment value for the city," he says. "I really think it has become an obsolete, tawdry thing of the past." Reich is planning to eliminate the Block within 10 years, replacing it with a multimillion-dollar inner-harbor redevelopment project, including a community college, a shopping mall, and municipal and commercial office buildings. Meanwhile, one whole block of seamy establishments has already been razed to make way for, of all things, a new $11 million police headquarters...

"Progress" in Viet Nam is a relative and fragile thing at best. But within limits, a prognosis of progress seems more valid than at any time since the U.S. arrived...
Moreover, the national government that Thieu inherited after his election was anything but national, and hardly a government at all. National politics has traditionally begun and ended within the confines of Saigon, showing little concern with roots in the countryside. Ministers and military administrators tended to run their departments in the same way?and were certainly not encouraged to venture far from home during the blurry succession of military-backed strongmen who held power before Thieu. As a result, there was simply no chain of command that Thieu could rely on. Instead, he found a government of intensely jealous fiefdoms...
