...military GHQ, McNamara and Taylor first got a daylong briefing from 30 embassy, CIA and military officers. Then the two VIPs set out aboard Harkins' C-54 for four days of on-site inspection in the boondocks. They began their tour in the north, where the war is doing relatively well. So tight was security that their movements were announced only a few hours in advance. In the air they were protected by T 28 fighter-bombers and armed UH-1B helicopters, on the ground by machine-gun-carrying Jeeps...

Sargent Shriver Jr., 45, a Chicago businessman. The agency would supply cash, corpsmen and coordination for the two main arms of the operation. In the U.S., private groups, such as foundations, universities, or the American Friends Service Committee, would propose projects abroad. In the host country, a binational board would have power to pass on projects and set local corps policy. The estimated cost is roughly...
