...years at SAC (1948-57) hardened LeMay's already metallic approach to world politics, especially Communism. His bases became armed camps; his men- even flight mechanics-carried arms for fear of saboteurs or sudden attack. The U S bombers were on airborne alert round the clock, and the nation's capacity for devastating retaliation was unquestioned. So was the efficiency of Curt LeMay. His men regarded him with a combination of respect and abject terror...
...often sounded as if that is what he means. Not in regard to Viet Nam We don't need nuclear weapons in Viet Nam, porters last week. "I can't foresee any conditions under which we would." In books and speeches LeMay articulated a thoughtful approach to the problems of nuclear deterrents. He has never advocated the use of nuclear weapons except in the last extremity, but the fact that he contemplates their use at all is alarming to many. He replies that the deterrent value of nuclear weapons is lost if a nation declares that it will...
...Peking, Taiwan's rival, currently offers assistance to 24 countries, with at least 1,000 technicians and a host of laborers. But there is a difference in approach.

How bad could it be for the government not to be able to make "efficient" policy decisions? Given a Johnson-Humphrey approach to world affairs, the real need is for intellectual sabotage to the point where making foreign policy is as hopeless as ending the farm surplus problem--and its solution as drastic. Until visionary, or even decent and more humane, people retake the White House and the decision-making nexus...
...Progressive Labor type cuts his hair, puts on a T-shirt, and goes to work in a factory so he can talk to the workers and educate them about their true plight. The fallacy of such an approach lies in the assumption that the process of converting someone else to one's own beliefs is a purely intellectual one. It is wrong to suppose that all one has to do is to present the worker with facts and figures and expect him to be "educated" into understanding that his real enemy is the capitalist establishment. It is a myth that...
