...surprising author of that cable was former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, the same Rusk of the hawkish eyeball that never blinked, the Buddha whose monotonously repeated mantra of justification seemingly never changed through the years of escalation. Contrary to his historic image, did he oppose the first loop in the endless spiral into Indochina? In an interview from his home in Athens, Ga., Rusk broke his long silence.
