A Murder in the Family
A Murder in the Family Behind the tragic death of a prominent Viet couple BY SAUNDRA SAPERSTEIN AND ELSA WALSH Washington You are my baby," Nam Tran Tran Van Chuong told her then-60-year-old son one evening in tbe summer of 1986, kissing his hand at the dinner table. It seemed a portrait of tranquility, after years of upheaval, for this prominent Vietnamese family. Here in Washington, the parents -- a former ambassador and his wife -- appeared reconciled with their long-wandering son. In a Roman villa, their youngest daughter, the famous, Madame Nhu (Tran Le Xuan), was safely exiled, and another daughter was teaching at a small North Carolina college. One week later, on July 24, the mother and her husband, Tran Van Chuong, lay dead, crumpled one atop the other in their bedroom. Their only son, Tran Van Khiem, was arrested and accused of their murders. The charge of patricide and matricide, a charge that Khiem vehemently denies, shocked the Vietnamese and diplomatic communities. "The end did not match the beginning," said Khiem's sister Lechi Oggeri. "For such beautiful lives, it should have been a beautiful end. The more you tell about the glories of the past, the more horrible the end becomes," In passionate public letters and a six-hour telephone interview from St. Elizabeth's Hospital here, where he is being examined by psychiatrists, Khiem has talked of a global conspiracy that has come to focus on him. And he has alleged a conspiracy of a more intimate nature as well. Khiem said his sister Oggeri and her sons-in-law have conspired to paint him as a murderer to gain control of his parents' $650,000 estate. -
Ngô Đình Diệm
Chương Bảy GỬI LẠI NGHÌN SAU Suy nghiệm về một số bài học lịch sử Bất đắc dĩ khơi đống tro tàn Lê Nguyên Long LTS: Tác giả bài này là một nhân sĩ miền Trung, lãnh tụ Việt Quốc vùng Nam Ngãi. Trưởng thành qua những thời đại Phong kiến, Độc tài, Cộng Sản. Ông đã là chứng nhân của lịch sử cận và hiện đại. Bài viết của ông sau đây, dù thuộc về một đề tài vốn đã được nói nhiều nhưng vì tính cách chứng nhân đó của tác giả mà nó vẫn có cái giá trị riêng biệt của nó - cần thiết cho một cái nhìn đúng đắn về lịch sử. – KP, 1981 Cố Tổng thống Ngô Đình Diệm bị hạ sát cách đây đã gần hai thập niên, sự việc đã chìm vào quên lãng, đáng lẽ những ân oán xa xưa chẳng nên đề cập, nhưng hơn vài năm nay nơi hải ngoại, một vài tổ chức đã phát động phong trào suy tôn ông Diệm. Một vài tờ báo đã đề cao ông Diệm như: “ Lịch sử đã ghi tên Ngô Đình Diệm là một vĩ nhân cận đại, lịch sử đã ghi nhận Ngô Đình Diệm là một nhà đại ái quốc, một người Việt Nam kiêu hùng, một cứu tinh của dân tộc v.v...” và đã có nhiều k ẻ từng thừa hưởng đỉnh chung của nhà Ngô đã lập luận: “Nếu ông Diệm không chết thì chúng ta đã không mất nước!”. Kẻ viết bài này thật sự luôn luôn thiết tha với tình tự đoàn kết quốc gia dân tộc, không muốn khơi lại đống tro tàn ô uế dĩ vãng.. -

Dionisopoulos, and Steven R. Goldzwig 8 I do not believe that any of the Presidents who have been involved with Viet- nam, Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, or President Nixon, foresaw or desired that the United States would become involved in a large scale war in Asia. But the fact remains that a steady progression of small decisions and actions over a period of 20 years had forestalled a clear-cut decision by the President or by the President and Congress—decision as to whether the defense of South Vietnam and involvement in a great war were necessary to the security and best interest of the United States. —Senator John Sherman Cooper (R-KY), Congressional Record, 1970 n his 1987 doctoral thesis, General David Petraeus wrote of Vietnam: “We do not take the time to understand the nature of the society in which we are f ght- Iing, the government we are supporting, or the enemy we are f ghting.”1 After World War II, when the United States chose Vietnam as an area for nation building as part of its Cold War strategy, little was known about that exotic land. -

POLITICAL SITUATION The task force established to cope with civilian aspects of the current n crisis is apparently beset with serious difficulties because of internal bickering - and the insistence of many members on .u tying up operations in bureaucratic red tape. There appears to be an increasing groundswell in favor of amending the constitution to allow Vice President Ky to serve concurrently as prime minister, but Ky is turning aside for the moment any consideration of consolidating his power. The National Assembly is showing a willingness to cooperate with the government in clearing up the crisis, after an initial round of severe criticism from the Upper House. -
Phỏng Vấn Monique Brinson Demery: Bén Gót Rồng Mụ Đinh Từ Bích Thúy
Phỏng vấn Monique Brinson Demery: Bén Gót Rồng Mụ Đinh Từ Bích Thúy Lời Giới Thiệu: Hình ảnh bà Nhu đã cuốn hút Monique Demery từ lúc cô còn bé, lần đầu cô nhìn thấy bức ảnh nổi tiếng của nhiếp ảnh gia Larry Burrow chụp Bà Nhu năm 1962 "với mái tóc đen bới cao và móng tay sơn đỏ," trong trang phục áo dài bó sát người, đang cầm khẩu súng lục. Đây cũng là hình bìa cuốn tiểu sử của Monique Demery về cựu Đệ nhất Phu nhân của miền Nam Việt Nam, tựa đề Finding the Dragon Lady: The Mystery of Vietnam’s Madame Nhu (nxb Public Affairs: 2013). Tuy lúc còn bé Demery bị sắc đẹp của bà Nhu thu hút, dần dà cô có một cảm nhận sâu xa về vấn đề mà nhiều người đàn bà thông minh và nhan sắc kết hôn với những chính khách thế lực vẫn phải đương đầu ngày hôm nay: làm thế nào để một phụ nữ không được dân bầu xử sự đúng cách, trong trường hợp bà từ chối đóng vai trang điểm – mà người Mỹ gọi là “kẹo tay” (arm candy) – bên cạnh ông chồng? Hơn năm mươi năm trước đây, bà Ngô Đình Nhu, dân biểu Quốc hội và em dâu của Tổng Thống Ngô Đình Diệm, là một nhân vật gây nhiều tranh cãi và chia rẽ trong dư luận báo chí Mỹ. Trần Lệ Xuân, hay "mùa Xuân đẹp," đã nổi tiếng ở phương Tây qua danh từ không được trân trọng là "Dragon Lady," ám chỉ một femme fatale quyến rũ nhưng hiểm độc. -

Original Language: Russian Contents: English Translation Attachment Secret. Copy # 1 # 930/yuva 26.XII.61 ON THE SITUATION IN SOUTH VIETNAM (Information) In 1961 the internal situation in South Vietnam became substantially exacerbated. A direct threat emerged to the regime of Ngo Dinh Diem. The government of the USA, like the ruling circles of other Western countries, is blaming the current situation in South Vietnam primarily on the intensification of the partisan movement under the ever increasing support of the DRV and the PRC, as well as on the instability of Ngo Dinh Diem’s government, which does not have the essential support of the people. Indeed, in 1961 there was significant growth in the national liberation movement in South Vietnam, which in many regions of the country manifested itself as an armed struggle between the patriotic forces and the regular army of Ngo Dinh Diem. According to available reports, during October 1961 alone, the patriotic forces carried out approximately 500 military operations, as a result of which the enemy lost over 2 thousand people, and 143 local and regular troop posts were destroyed. -

It is intended to address conspicuous gaps within the historical record through an examination of how and why urban networks of the Communist Party, the Việt Minh and the NLF evolved and attracted new members in Huế and Central Vietnam in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. Beginning with the inception of the Communist Party in Huế in 1930, this project tracks the various affiliated underground network’s development and evolution through World War II, the French War of decolonization, the Diệm government, the Struggle Movement and the Tết Offensive, concluding in the early 1970s. It offers a view of the Vietnamese revolution and the iv Vietnam Wars (1945-1975) from the perspective of the people in Huế and Central Vietnam who joined the, the Communist Party, the NLF and the student and Struggle Movements. -

A spokesman for the Vietnamese Confederation of Labor announced on 15 January that affiliated unions had been given a go-ahead for new walkouts today and that some categories of workers had already gone on strike . There are, however, some indications that the gov ernment may agree to release the six labor leaders arrested on 11 January. This could pave the way for settlement of the strikes.
