Gronouski's predecessor, John Cabot (who moved on as deputy commandant of the National War College in Washington), met 20 times with the Chinese, delivering fruitless warnings to Peking to stay out of India and Viet Nam. Now it is the former Postmaster General's Sisyphean job to deliver the messages...
