...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."
