Officials are forever trying to explain how the world uses labor, capital and raw materials to acquire its "cargo," but that is all so much hocus-pocus to the tribesmen...
...achieve excessive ends." Last week, as additional parts of the Pentagon papers were published, the new documents continued to show a disturbing pattern of inexperience and ignorance at the highest levels of the U.S. Government, cynicism about America's Vietnamese "allies," and an unwillingness in Washington to abandon official policies even after they had proved to be failures.
