...dangerous nonsense for us to equate our extravagant declarations regarding Viet Nam with our security commitments toward either Berlin or Japan. In Viet Nam our national interest is marginal; in the others, fundamental. Our friends and allies well understand this distinction; they will identify the two only if they think we are doing...
...persistent inquiry into labor racketeering." Now Mollenhoff is a White House deputy counsel charged with digging out Government malfeasance and corruption from the inside. He has scoured the record of Judge Clement F.
