Then Lalich got to work. He tossed a pass to Carl Goodwin, who made a diving catch for a first down at the Green 49. The sophomore quarterback then threw to Tony Smith at the 25. On the next set of downs, after being thrown for a 10-yard loss, Lalich flipped a 32-yard pass into the end zone with 2:35 to play in the half. Tom Wynne kicked the conversion...

Writing in the New York Times Magazine, former White House Aide Arthur Schlesinger Jr. scored Johnson for "piling on all forms of power without regard to the nature of the threat."

He cannot understand why the enemy does not see the point. "Hanoi's unwillingness to negotiate is one of the great mysteries of the war." Goodwin leans to the dove school of thought that wants the Saigon government revamped to include Buddhists and neutralists and others more acceptable to the Viet Cong...
