...helped by batteries, every Jack and Jill must be capable of doing its own thing. "Baby Crawl-Along" lives up to her name, scoots across the floor on hands and knees. No sooner does "Tubsy" touch the bath water than she starts splashing. Tubsy is an angel compared with "Li'l Miss Fussy"; she dampens her diapers, then throws a tantrum, crying and kicking until she has been changed.

Lyndon Johnson, on the other hand, worried about whether he should allow the Air Force to bomb a power plant in Hanoi that stood a scant li miles from Ho Chi Minh's home. Ultimately, he did. It is such concern with minutiae that best illustrates the key fact about Viet Nam: it is a war in which the political factors exert more control than they did in any war in U.S. history...
