Self-Fulfilling Prophecies From Saigon to Washington
Joseph Alsop argues that reports of sharp Nixon Thieu tensions misread how closely the two capitals coordinated on Vietnam policy. He notes the April speech draft circulated to Bunker and Lodge, Thieu’s approvals, and the practice of last minute revisions, concluding coalition talks would mark a major reversal if mentioned. He warns against assuming counterpressures will drive policy, stressing Nixon’s restraint and desire to keep waters muddled for leverage.
