Eisenhower duel and 1968 Saigon embassy invasion noted
In a 1968 diary entry Oswald Jacoby recalls a White House bridge game with President Eisenhower, Harold Talbott and Judge Vinson in April 1953. The article also notes Eisenhower’s strong bridge play and a debriefed classified security problem. It closes with a historical reference: Communist guerrillas attacked the U S Embassy in Saigon in 1968 and were wiped out in six hours.
