Huntington also advocated the use of "mechanical and conventional power"--bombing--in rural areas threatened by the National Liberation Front to force...
When Warnke's confirmation hearings begin this week, he is likely to be "scarred up a bit" by the process, in Humphrey's phrase, bul he is expected to be approved by the Foreign Relations Committee and the Senate. If so, one of his first jobs could be to accompany his good friend Vance to Moscow in March to discuss, among other topics, the resumption of the stalled SALT talks and the possibility of starting discussions about reducing conventional arms...
