The most trusted reporter in America, Unca Walter Cronkite's reports from 'Nam during and after put him squarely on Nixon's 'Enemies List'.
'That's the way it is' Walter had every ear in the country back in those days and he was brutal in his own inimitable way about the progress, prospects and ultimate failure of our involvement in Vietnam.
We probably have the largest concentration of Vietnamese immigrants here in Orange county California. That old devil, General Nguyen Cao Ky lived here in Westminster until his death, IIRC.
BTW Mark, I lived in the DC suburbs from '68 to '80. My friends and I were downtown protesting at most every anti war demonstration. May Day 1970 was particularly interesting. We called the D.C. Mounted Park Police 'Cossacks' and the regular cops 'fascist storm troopers', deservedly so.
