...answers came, the President sat with his chin cupped in hand, giving his undivided attention. The discussions ranged over five major U.S. policy possibilities. An all-out war, including the use of nuclear weapons, was discarded immediately, as was a U.S. withdrawal. To the President, the first was too dangerous, the second unthinkable. Letting things go on pretty much as they are, in the vague hope of achieving a stalemate, without substantially increasing the U.S. commitment was offered as a third possibility. But General William Westmoreland, the U.S. field commander, had urgently requested more men, and to turn him down...

Even as the likelihood of all-out war between the U.S. and Russia recedes, the danger now and for years to come is not only that Communist China will develop and deploy an atomic arsenal, but that a succession of smaller nations will be under increasing and perhaps irresistible pressure to join the nuclear arms race.

But when the smoke clears, China is in ruins along with the rest of the world, and only 1,000,000 people survive around the globe, including...

He bought a can-making plant, made himself unpopular with wholesale grocers by discontinuing, just when wartime shortages made it difficult to find new canners, Hunt's unprofitable practice of packing private-label brands. He also tripled advertising to an unheard of 7% of sales in an all-out effort to make Hunt a national brand...
