The surface indications of ferment arestill largely unexplained. Also, Hanoi may easily figure that waiting another year, for the 1972-73 dry season, will enlarge its chances of success, since presumably far fewer U.S. troops—and probably planes—will beleft in Vietnam. Furthermore,if reaction to Saigon's Oct. 3 one-candidate presidential election is seriously adverse within the South Vietnamese army's morale, cohesion and capacity to resist attack may be greatly diminished by November of1972.
