Ever since its victorious, twelve-year guerrilla war against Communist rebels, rubber-rich Malaya has been an eye of calm amidst the storm of Southeast Asia. From its plantations comes 40% of the world's rubber, and scores of new schools and factories give evidence of its quietly booming economy.

Gilpatric has played a major role in shaping such key military decisions of the Kennedy Administration as the Berlin buildup and the new emphasis on conventional and guerrilla warfare. In fact, Gilpatric, not McNamara, is the Pentagon's man on a little-known but influential group set up by the National Security Council to plan Government-wide programs to counter Khrushchev's threatened national "wars of liberation." Dry Toast. Away from the Pentagon, Gilpatric can more than hold his own in the in-group badinage of the New Frontier. At a recent party on his Maryland farm, Gilpatric...
