...dissenters-backed by such respectable citizens as the editorialists of the New York Times and Senior Pundit Walter Lippmann-almost made it sound as if they spoke for the majority of Americans. No such thing: the latest Gallup poll showed that for every two citizens who want the U.S. to get out of Viet Nam, three favor its present policy there or want to escalate the war further; that 76% support U.S. military intervention in the Dominican Republic. Still, the decibel count of criticism is high, and Johnson is supersensitive to any sort of criticism. He therefore gave Bundy...
...that Pentagon officials have uncovered Walter Lippmann's unwisdom on the 1947-49 Greek crisis-"My God, Walter would have given away Greece too!" [May 14]-they would do well to pursue their researches further back, to the days before Pearl Harbor, and in a more immediately relevant area, Asia. They would discover that Mr. Lippmann consistently opposed American aid to China in its life-and-death defense against Japanese aggression, insisted that the United States' vital interests were confined to the Atlantic, and warned that, under no circumstances should this country allow itself to become embroiled...

...Back in the U.S., many editorialists and columnists sided with the men in the field. Said the New York Times: "Little awareness has been shown by the U.S. that the Dominican people-not just a handful of Communists-were fighting and dying for social justice and constitutionalism." Even Walter Lippmann, who had supported the U.S. intervention, hoped for the success of what he called the "legitimatist party-that of the Constitutionalists." But the fact is that Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó, boss of the so-called Constitutionalists, had helped overthrow the constitutional President, Juan Bosch...
