Lavelle Bombing Tangles With Secret Vietnam Peace Talks
Washington review of a secret record shows Gen. John Lavelle’s unapproved air strikes against North Vietnam may have disrupted Nixon Kissinger negotiations. Lavelle admits he would repeat the action but avoid falsifying reports, while Kissinger’s talks with Le Duc Tho in Paris aim to end the war amid the controversy. A 1967 effort with Bo failed as Hanoi insisted on talk under no threat of bombing, and a 1970 round also fell apart after unauthorized raids. In New York, Mayor John Lindsay faced a hostile Brooklyn crowd after a meeting with local business leaders at Dubrow’s restaurant.
