Forest of Papers. Harriman left the wrangling over procedure to his backup man, former Deputy Secretary of Defense Cyrus Vance, who spent three hours and 45 minutes clearing away the underbrush with Colonel Ha. In the actual talks, Hanoi is immediately expected to demand, in Thuy's words, "the unconditional cessation of the U.S. bombing raids and all other acts of war" against the North before going on to other subjects. The U.S., in turn, is certain to demand some reciprocal gesture from Hanoi, though the Administration's bedrock definition of reciprocity is still in flux. Saigon...
...chief negotiator in what is likely to prove a harrowing test of endurance, patience and skill will be Roving Ambassador Averell Harriman, who at 76 boasts not only a long record of suecessful negotiations with Communist diplomats but astonishing stamina as well. Backing up Harriman will be Cyrus R. Vance, 51, until last year the Deputy Secretary of Defense. As its chief representative, Hanoi designated Xuan Thuy, 55, a veteran diplomat and journalist who retired as Foreign Minister three years ago. Supporting him will probably be Mai Van Bo, 50, the pudgy, polished former teacher who since 1961 has skillfully...
HALF a dozen times in the past four years, President Johnson has called upon Cyrus Roberts Vance to exercise his unique talent for peacemaking in crisis. When the Dominican Republic exploded in 1965, Vance supervised the U.S. military effort to prevent a Communist takeover. He directed the force of federal troops that restored quiet to Detroit after last summer's riots, and last month advised the capital's Mayor Walter Washington in the violence following Martin Luther King's assassination. In November, Vance negotiated a peaceful settlement of the Cyprus crisis; in February he soothed irate South...
...help Park meet the threat, Special U.S. Envoy Cyrus Vance visited Seoul last February and promised to give Park $100 million in additional U.S. military aid this year on top of the normal $160 million. Drawing on this new account, Park is organizing a 2,500,000-man reserve that, on call, will help to patrol the coast, operate ground-surveillance radar stations and perform other such duties. He is also trying to modernize the country's 600,000-man armed forces, replacing World War II rifles with the new M16, buying U.S. helicopters for better troop mobility...
...replace Trowbridge, Johnson made an expectably unexpected choice: Cyrus Rowlett Smith, 68, a salty, poker-loving Texan who took over American Airlines in 1934 and guided its growth through the '50s (1967 revenues: $842 million). A brilliant executive, "C.R." helped organize the Army's wartime Air Transport Command, of which he was deputy commander, and wound up a major general at war's end, when he returned to American to steer it into the postwar age of commercial aviation. He resigned only last month as American's chief executive officer and remains chairman of the board...
