...last of the Lost Generation. Wounded five times as a teen-age German soldier in World War I, he could have played himself in All Quiet on the Western Front, adapted from his first novel, which in Germany alone sold 1.2 million copies in 1929. Remarque came to deploy war like a painted backdrop. But his final novel (ten novels later) indicates that he changed less than his readers from his original pacifism- that war remained his obsessive tormentor, his in explicable agony...
...York and Harold Brown, who was head of DDR&E at that time. To a man we were opposed to both the big system and, as far as I recall, the smaller system too, some of us more vigorously than others. And he not only made the decision to deploy the small system, but McNamara then sort of misused, I'd say, our position there in support of the small system. I think that we may have had many reasons to feel ill-used, but I didn't think the President ever owed me anything. I wasn't supporting...
Sometimes one agency of the Government will leak information in order to combat another branch.

...took account of souls, and French history, as well as weapons. It concluded: "No one can assure you that we can beat the Viet Cong or even force them to the conference table on our terms, no matter how many hundred thousand white, foreign [U.S.] troops we deploy. Once we deploy substantial numbers of troops in combat, it will become a war between the U.S. and a large part of the population of South Viet Nam. U.S. troops will begin to take heavy casualties in a war they are ill-equipped to fight in a noncooperative if not downright hostile...
Ravenous Machines. The effects of strip mining are not confined to the hidden valleys of Appalachia. The flatter the land over coal deposits, the more easily surface miners can deploy their fantastic King Kong technology. Some new power shovels can scoop up 200 tons in a single bite, then take another gulp a minute later. Even with such ravenous machines working round the clock, all 52 motors screaming, the coal will not run out for centuries. Only 4.5 billion of the nation's 108 billion tons of strippable coal have been touched...
