Henceforth, Diem's path was increasingly beset by missed opportunities and aborted chances. To some extent, he became a captive of his own close-knit family. Brother Nhu, without holding elective or appointive office, became the intellectual power behind the regime, as well as the organizer of its secret police. Brother Can supplied muscle, running central Viet Nam like a warlord. Brother Thuc, Archbishop of Hué, offered spiritual guidance, undismayed by occasional, barely concealed reproofs from the Vatican. To the band of brothers was added the indomitable sister-in-law, Mme. Nhu, whose dedicated feminism resulted...

The potential opposition was either cool or only slightly smoldering, however. "We give our critics a free hand," said Managing Editor Turner Catledge, betraying no surprise at Critic Gould's intrafamilial sabotage. "Our first obligation is to our readers...

Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury and primate of the Communion, called for a new sharing of missionary responsibilities. "Let African and Asian missionaries come to England to help to convert the post-Christian heathenism in our country and to convert our English Church to a closer following of Christ," he said. The archbishop may get his wish some day. At a meeting of an advisory council of Anglican prelates, the churches worked...
