		In Laos, retired Indiana farmer Edgar Buell is affectionately referred to as "Mister Pop".
		Buell, pardonably proud of his growing reputation as a doer of good works, was so touched by the gesture that he glowed.
		Edgar was walking down the gentle hill from the new teacher training school at Sam Thong toward his warehouse-home, his legs sliding effortlessly forward in short, quick steps like those the Meo take, when he felt suddenly breathless.

		As CIA influence spread through the Meo villages ringing the Plain of Jars, Buell became a one-man supply corps, dispatching Air America planes to drop rice, meat, and other necessities the CIA had promised to deliver."(86) Buell played the innocent country boy and claimed his work was humanitarian aid for Meo refugees.
		To solve this critical problem, the CIA turned to Edgar Buell, who set out on a fifty-eight-day trek around the perimeter of the plain to arrange for delivery of "refugee" supplies.
		They were flown to Buell's headquarters at Sam Thong, five miles north of Long Tieng, housed temporarily, and then flown to refugee villages in an adjacent area west of the Plain of Jars.

		Edgar Buell was an almost-stereotypical midwestern farmer: hard-working, simple, moral, stubborn, and tolerant.
		Far from a proselytizing missionary, Buell was very accepting of Hmong traditions and left them alone; the closest he got to moral crusading was his (unsuccessful) attempt at getting the Hmong to switch from opium production (their only cash crop) to sweet potatoes.

		As Warner tells the story, operations in Laos began in an almost haphazard manner and were initiated by lowlevel CIA operatives such as Bill Lair who were sensitive to the local culture and had a decent understanding of the language.
		While Lair, Buell, Lawrence, and the others were motivated by selfless idealism, Warner does not consider the possibility that their love for the Hmong ultimately led to consequences that were at least as destructive and barbaric as those of the war planners who pushed pins into maps in far away capitals.
		If anything, Lair, Buell, and the others were guilty of using the Hmong as cannon fodder in U.S. managed battles against domestic Pathet Lao guerrillas and invading northern Vietnamese army units.

		Almost nothing stirred on the ground in northern Laos, except for some 20,000 Meo, many of them families of Pao's warriors, who began "walking out" of their hillside enclaves towards the Thai border and relative safety from the new Communist push that they fear will come.

		Despite the lull, the conflict was still the object of fascination and controversy, not because of the agonies of the Laotians but because of new diplomatic maneuvering and the discomfort of the Nixon Administration.
