...ultimate impact on U.S. policy in Viet Nam, the My Lai massacre will profoundly test an evolving principle of U.S. law-that every wrong should have a remedy in court. How, for example, can the Army try the men (three so far) who openly admit that they killed women and children at My Lai-but who are now civilians...
...Mesta. Socially, Nixon's Washington still has only slightly more panache than a San Clemente Chamber of Commerce meeting. But even on that front, a certain style is developing.

Rives' posture has been cool and correct. Says one of Sihanouk's French advisers: "America has finally learned to deal with Cambodia with politesse and patience." Not that there is all that much to do. The entire nonofficial U.S. community in Cambodia consists of three women who are married to Cambodian husbands and Joe Foggy, a Negro fighter who has been coaching Cambodian boxers for several years. One of Rives' chief tasks has been negotiating a Cambodian claim for $12 million in damages to rubber trees caused by U.S. planes bombing too close to the Cambodian-Vietnamese...
