Tran Van Lam, South Viet Nam's former Foreign Minister, who had signed the Paris accords and is now President of the South Viet Nam Senate, told TIME Correspondent Roy Rowan last week of an earlier and similar letter from Nixon to Thieu.

For nine days Roy was in a courtroom face-off with Psychiatrist and Cosmopolitan Columnist Renatus Hartogs, 66, who, she claimed, had mixed professional advice with sexual advances (TIME, March 24). Sexual intercourse with the good doctor, claimed Roy, had only produced severe depression and two involuntary stretches in a New York psychiatric ward. Last week a six-member jury awarded...
