...Anglo-Saxon Approach. The expressions of new-found loyalty for Thieu were a measure of South Vietnamese anger over the arrangements in Paris. The sticking point is the participation of the National Liberation Front, which is the political arm of the Viet Cong. As Saigon sees it, the participation of the N.L.F. as an equal member in any peace talks is tantamount to recognizing that the Communists represent a portion of the population of South Viet Nam.

It involves an underground league of "Guardians," apparently just as vain and frivolous as any of their social peers, but secretly dedicated to guiding others to salvation. Three characters in the play indicate Eliot's idea of the two paths to that goal: Celia, a married man's mistress, is guided to a saintly martyrdom ("crucified very near an anthill"); an unhappy couple named Edward and Lavinia are pointed toward the quotidian heroism of accepting their own and each...
