...participation in the Paris talks. His defiance made him a hero at home. The often critical and divided South Vietnamese press praised him. In a show of support, some 50 members of the National Assembly paraded to the presidential palace, shouting pro-Thieu slogans and waving red-and-yellow national flags. Groups of demonstrators in Saigon carried banners reading THE PEOPLE ARE UNITED TO KILL THE COMMUNISTS AND SAFEGUARD THE COUNTRY...
Lowenstein's district headquarters fill the top floor of a rented Rockville Centre office building. Some of the walls in the office are green, some are yellow, and all are dirty and covered with posters. Boards and old newspapers litter the floor.

With the exception of Leaving the Yellow House, published in Esquire in 1957, the early stories are staged with willing if befuddled ac- tors who are too deeply involved with workaday concerns to do much lofty abstracting. In The Old System (1967) and Mosby's Memoirs (1968), the protagonists are aging rationalists of considerable accomplishment. Both are shown trying to define the meaning of their own lives by musing about the weaknesses of people they have known...
