...defense against American Republicans, not Chinese Communists. Johnson might well have halted the Sentinel project last summer if he could have arranged, as the Soviets wished, to begin arms-control talks. He had on his desk an unsigned message confirming his willingness to negotiate on the night that Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin brought him word of the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

...wrong must be exacted in blood, it is rujūliyah that steels the avenger's hand. It is rujūliyah that can rob death of its dread.

He also faces a rightist challenge by former General Elias Wessin y Wessin, a major instigator of the coup that backfired into war and brought U.S. intervention. Wessin recently returned from three years in exile to lead an ultraconservative party...
