Years before the escalation, Michigan State University became very close with the South Vietnamese government. An archive at MSU containing 80,000 documents -- including papers, film and pictures contains the information.
WKAR’s Reginald Hardwick talked with Cynthia Ghering, director of the MSU archives and professor Dr. Charles Keith, a modern Vietnam historian.
Dr. Keith started off by talking about MSU professor Dr. Wesley Fishel, a close friend and consultant to South Vietnamese President Diem in 1950’s.
