Or do you still\nhave some people over there?\nK:\nI have no more travel (?).\nH:\nSo in other words nothing yet has been decided?\nK:\nI mean there are no more Le Duc Tho channel which I won't tell\nyou what it is.\nH:\nOK, I see. I see. All right. OK. I'11 check with you in a couple\nday. Meanwhile I'll go get that article and have it underlined for you.\nI\nreally thought that the magazine didn't involve anybody because it\nreally didn't say a damn thing.\nK:\nNo, it doesn't bother anybody but when one thinks of how you guys\nbeat us over the head for years.\nbeating\nH:\nBut we stopped/you over the head.\nK:\nI don't think it would have been - you know quite seriously you're the\nguys who kept talking about national reconciliation. I don't know\nwhether it would have really hurt you to say one kind word about the\nPresident.\nH:\nWell, that's my point. I think that we do.\nK:\nWhat ?\nH:\nYeh, well all right your objection I11 accept. But over here we look\nupon it as the absence - we view the absence of former reflective\nliberalism as progress.\nK:\nThat is true.\nH:\nWe think the absence of negatives as a positive. In fact the last paragraph\nof the story says - talks about the geopolitical consideration in this war\nwhich is in our\nthe first damn time I've ever been able to\nget the magazine to recognize that there are issues beyond Southeast\nAsia that were involved in this war. That there were issues worth fighting\nF or."
