Time was an independent news organization, not an official government office building, Anson argued. There should be two flags side by side—the American flag as well as that of the Republic of Vietnam. His colleagues reluctantly acquiesced, but when Anson saw that the American flag was much larger than the Vietnamese, he went to Time’s office manager, Mr. Dang, and challenged him to get a larger flag of his country so that the two flags would be at least of equal size. Mr. Dang complied.
