Nguyen Van Tinh, a civil servant, earns 14 000 piasters monthly plus rice relief, while his wife supplements income by selling yogurt. Prices for food and goods have surged since 1965 as U.S. troop levels climbed, raising living costs across Saigon and prompting widespread underemployment and graft.
