But overshadowing them all, when the time came for departure, was the offensive launched on March 30 by the North Vietnamese army.

Important issues demand comment, and it is not in a newsman's nature to remain silent; it is therefore this newspaper's obligation, as any other's, to analyze and criticize the news that we report. We do not expect to be treated as the font of all wisdom, just as we do not treat anyone...
