...December 1966; and the notion faded by the time of Nixon's rise to power, that the war reflected the political illegitimacy of the government in Washington. The book follows the writings of "key" leftist intellectuals and journals of the time to illustrate their changing perceptions and campaigns to align first with emerging campus activists, then to win the sympathy and support of their reluctant colleagues in academia and the Johnson administration and finally to woo the electorate...

...being conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was to prevent the buildup of electrical potential during a storm, and thus to prevent the occurrence of damaging lightning. Like iron filings near a bar magnet, the 4-in.-long, hair-thin fibers, when released in a thunderhead, align themselves with the lines of force in the electrical field of the cloud. What is more, negative and positive charges build up at opposite ends of the fibers, creating miniature electrical fields and ionizing the air around them. The ionization increases the conductivity of air within the thunderhead and allows...

Said Kissinger: "They are asking us to align ourselves with them, to overthrow the people that have been counting on us." The terms of withdrawal and the future makeup of the Saigon government thus remained two huge barriers to agreement, and the essential difference between Hanoi's nine-point position and the eight U.S. points...
