...U.S.S. Pueblo in international waters came as an abrupt object lesson to Americans that the world's greatest power can be roundly and resoundingly put down by the most minuscule of foes. The Bay of Pigs debacle in 1961 was a portent, but it was a local and limited embarrassment that was soon forgotten. North Viet Nam has also proved the efficacy of persistent, small-scale Communist effort.

The point is, however, that the reason they would never crack down on the CRIMSON is because it doesn't deserve to be cracked down upon (a pity) but even if it did represent an affront to public...
