William Taylor, a former West Point colonel now at Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies, approves of the Administration's eagerness to help fight small, tangentially anti-Soviet battles around the world. But he realizes that the public is not as bully for military adventures as some in the White House and Pentagon. "I think they're fooling themselves," says Taylor, "if they...
