Without this relatively easy exit, the U.S. must define and publicize more clearly its military and other interests in the area. This requires that the government, press, and professors scrutinize the present policies. The domino theory, which says that South Vietnam is the first piece in a tightly ranked line extending thousands of miles across the Pacific, may not have been obsolete when John Foster Dulles propounded it. But its validity is suspect if some pieces are unwilling to topple dutifully at a push transmitted from China through their neighbors. The assertion that a Vietcong victory in South Vietnam would...
Senators and Representatives who are currently less vulnerable than the President should be saying the things that might make a more adaptable policy possible. They should point out the foibles of the Diem government, explain that Communism is not a monolithic movement, demonstrate that the domino theory-our only justification for consorting with the Ngos - does not apply if Vietnamese Communists differ from Chinese Communists...
...Brothers Four. The U.S. is deeply committed to hold South Viet Nam against the Chinese-backed Viet Cong guerrillas, because?according to the old "falling domino theory"?Laos and Cambodia would be outflanked, Thailand caught in a vise, and the Malay Peninsula severely threatened if South Viet Nam were to fall.

...skeletal plan for a two-story, prefabricated house of reinforced concrete that was so simple it might have been the design for a child's toy. It consisted of six columns, three horizontal concrete slabs, a cantilevered staircase-and that was all. But the simple plan for the Domino house contained a principle that was to be basic to all of his planning thereafter. The six-column skeleton relieved the facades and the interior walls of support functions: they could thus be moved and molded at will, giving the architect all the prerogatives of the sculptor. The Domino houses...
