...will pressure the Nixon Administration to make an even stronger commitment to the Thieu-Ky government. A pamphlet making this argument was done in February by the "Another Mother for Peace" group. This has prompted 10,000 letters to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, according to Chairman J. W. Fulbright (D-Ark). State Department officials, in response to Senator Fulbright's query, have disclaimed knowledge of oil fields offshore Vietnam...
...until this Calley thing is cleaned up," he declared. In Austin, Texas, the Statesman ran a scornful front-page editorial titled "Obituary U.S. Army"?and sold out the issue. "The death was announced by a general court-martial of six men," the editorial said. "Pallbearers will include Senators Fulbright, Kennedy and McGovern. Honorary pallbearers will include Moratorium marchers." The Texas senate called for a presidential pardon.

The clash over executive privilege is a recurring and complex one. The Senate has a right to review U.S. foreign policy...
Critics like David Halberstam and former Air Force Chief of Staff Curtis LeMay have attacked him from left and right. Senators Proxmire and Fulbright have assaulted obvious flaws in the Pentagon he left behind. Adam Yarmolinsky has demonstrated the problems and agonies his former boss endured. Now come Alain Enthoven and Wayne Smith, far less ambitious and partisan, far more technically expert, too. How Much Is Enough? examines the Robert McNamara Pentagon from the authors' special perch in the Systems Analysis office-one of the former Defense Secretary's showpiece creations. With cool precision, Enthoven and Smith make...
