MOST U.S. military men would insist that such a scenario is Hanoi's wildest dream, not Washington's probable nightmare. But almost overnight, the battlefield situation in Indochina has quickened to the point where the Administration is reminding people that there is still a war going on. In Saigon last week, Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker flatly warned a group of businessmen to expect "heavy fighting before long." In Washington, Defense Secretary Melvin Laird recently said that the Communists have "advertised an offensive as they have advertised no other offensive in Viet Nam."

...fantasy is that a realist movement exists in America-in the sense that Cubism, for instance, was a coherent movement with defined aims. The word movement, in fact, is mere packaging: a bogus form of authentication aimed at nervous collectors who demand instant history. In reality, the scenario is very complex.

There he kibitzed idly with guards while three floors above the lawyers worked out the details with Prosecutor Edward Fitz-patrick and Judge Morris Pashman. A detailed scenario was agreed upon, and last week in court Smith went through the routine. Though normally a man of closely guarded emotions, he became flushed and strained during the judge's questioning. Did he murder Victoria Zielinski? "I did," he said in a voice so low that spectators had to strain to hear. Was anyone...
