Pavlovicm Cries. Fulbright's intimations of American "arrogance" are based in part on the dog-eared premise that the U.S. would like to remake the world in its image. Indeed, Tennessee Democrat Albert Gore actually asked McNamara whether Washington aimed to establish "an American-type state" in South Viet Nam. "It is our goal," replied McNamara coolly, "to allow those people to choose the form of political institutions under which they prefer to live.

"We had no nuclear-weapon stockpile of any great significance. We were utterly unprepared for the land war in Korea...
...Spaniel owned by Comedienne Peggy Cass (To Tell the Truth), trotted out in a snappy Garbo trench coat and green velvet beret designed for Special Farces. Mimi and Camille Henderson, Skitch's miniature poodles, sported twin $150 red mole coats that were belted at the waist, and Buffee Gore, Singer Lesley Gore's poodle, hit a high note with a vicuna snow suit with red trim...
