There is hypocrisy on both sides of the argument. The Administration cannot convincingly hold that the supplies from the North are comparable in magnitude to the bombings.

He papered the walls of his office with flow charts indicating the progress of every major phase of the Polaris program -the missile, the sub, the navigational and fire-control systems, training of the crew, securing of overseas bases, establishment of communications relays.
