   Hi! Alexander,   
      
   On 25 Oct 19 10:16, you wrote to me:

   Yes.  In a lot of cases the North Vienamese Army (NVA) and Vietcong (VC) were   
   within 10 kilmeters from evacuation places.  My boyhood memories of the time   
   include television video of frantic off-loading of helicopters onto aircraft   
   carriers, and then having the helos dumped over the side of the ship.   
      
   I vividly recall vision of a western journalist covering the NVA/VC infantry &   
   tanks, storming either the US Embassy compound or the South Vietnam government   
   compound.  It was a hellish.   
      
   I'm sure that this was something that this later journo was trying to help   
   call on, by way of sympathetic comparison.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.   
      
   ... I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.
