...participation in future elections and thereafter in a future government. Thieu has gone as far as that, although only on the difficult condition that the Viet Cong stop calling themselves Communists. In the speech, Nixon also hinted that the U.S. would be willing to accept Communist participation in an interim government that would rule the country pending elections. That could mean something very close to a coalition government. More troubling to Thieu than any specific language may have been the President's insistence that he was open to almost any suggestion the other side might make...
...coalition with Thieu, because to join one would be to recognize his legitimacy. The second part of the problem involves Thieu's domestic political situation: Will his government be strong and broad enough to unite non-Communist forces and to hold its own against the Communists through an interim period, through elections and beyond?

Interim President Alain Poher put away his steel-rimmed glasses that had turned into hundreds of tiny distracting mirrors during his TV appearance, and adopted the horn-rimmed nonreflecting kind. Gaullist Georges Pompidou had his bushy eyebrows trimmed to improve his on-camera appearance and turned on a whirlwind, U.S.-style campaign, crisscrossing the country by helicopter and executive jet. Offering a something-for- everyone platform...
