In a report to the House of Representatives last year, Congressman Zablocki of Wisconsin estimated that about 6 civilians were killed for each Viet Cong guerrilla killed in a significant number of U.S. military operations examined by his subcommittee.

Fulbright argues convincingly that Communism is no longer entirely evil-but that is a fact most Americans grasped nearly a decade ago.
