The scene causes anger to rise cold in your throat--it's strangely impersonal, yet moving. A flashlight shines on some muck on the ground, and a miner's dirty hand stirs through it.

There was an angle in his anger. Schlesinger wanted to dominate the entrenched bureaucracy of the Pentagon, which has defied the mastery of all but two or three of the eleven other Secretaries. He managed to start rebuilding the post-Viet Nam Army, trimming fat to get more men on the firing line...
