Good article and when you read it, you're left with the impression that NVN and
the U.S. were alone in Paris. Thieu has to get the details of the U.S.-NVN
agreement from captured VC documents? If the SVN were in Paris, they obviously
weren't doing much. Sightseeing?

A better description I believe is that they were dragged kicking and
screaming to the table. From the same article: __In "The White House Years,"
Mr. Kissinger quotes a crucial passage of a letter to Thieu from Nixon: "I
have therefore irrevocably decided to proceed to initial the Agreement on
January 23, 1973 and to sign it on January 27, 1973 in Paris. I will do so,
if necessary, alone. In that case I shall have to explain publicly that your
Government obstructs peace. The result will be an inevitable and immediate
termination of U.S. economic and military assistance which cannot be
forestalled by a change of personnel in your government. I hope, however,
that after all our two countries have shared and suffered together in
conflict, we will stay together to preserve peace and reap its benefits."__
