Allen, Luther A. | March 17, 1962 issue

add to cart   close window

The author shares that the first question asked by him by the students of Saigon Faculty of law was the meaning of freedom. A free country is one which guarantees a fair trial, tolerates a free press and permits a loyal opposition to contest the high positions of power. Most of the students and professors, as well as many of the business and professional Vietnamese whom he came to know in the autumn of 1960, were refugees from the North. They had already learned from their own experiences that a Communist state is not free. They had cut their traditional family ties and left their beloved Hanoi, the intellectual and cultural center of the country.
