...Gaulle has always seen visions-of France as the leader of a European third force that could be the arbiter between East and West; of himself as a barrier against the Communists and the "conspiracy"-to his mind equally malign-of the Anglo-Americans to dominate Europe. For a surprisingly long time, the Gaullist enterprises worked, at least well enough to keep France satisfied...
...business entrepreneur is a very special kind of achiever. According to David C. McClelland of Harvard's Department of Social Relations, he is "more concerned with achieving success than with avoiding failure."

Through the streets of Saigon, and in the dark approaches to dozens of towns and military installations throughout South Viet Nam, other Vietnamese made their furtive way, intent on celebrating only death? and on launching the Year of the Monkey on its malign way before it was many hours old. After the merrymakers had retired and the last firecrackers had sputtered out on the ground, they struck with a fierceness and bloody destructiveness that Viet Nam has not seen even in three decades of nearly continuous warfare. Up and down the narrow length of South Viet Nam, more than...
