To Absent Friends (?) - Madame Nhu



Those of you of a certain age, especially those of you who were draft eligible in the 1960's and early 1970's, no doubt had their memories jogged when reading of the death this week of Madame Nhu, who served as "Official Hostess" to President Diem of South Viet Nam during that time period.


Reading he obit in the Post-Gazette yesterday made you feel as thought you were reading the stuff of a Robert Ludlem novel. All too true however.


Not all memories are happy ones.
