...enmity and toward inevitably more aggressive policies. Only one of them, however, felt that the U.S. should not be in Viet Nam at all and should let the Chinese reign in their own "sphere of influence." He was the University of Chicago's Hans Morgenthau, a long-term critic of U.S. Viet Nam policies, who declared last week that all of Asia is China's proper sphere and disdained military containment of the Chinese as a step that will lead "sooner or later...
