...never reads a book. He's a politician. He's...he's..." Silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. "He's Sam Huntington! He's Pat Moynihan!" Now Scheer, who as an Institute of Politics guest at Harvard led the famous demonstration which kept Robert MacNamara captive for hours, is livid. The phone falls. "You don't believe me? Read the interview again. He's a return to the politics of the fifties, the paranoia of the Cold War, enemies everywhere, too much dissent. I know he believes that there's too much dissent. Read...

...mitigate the horrors of the war. As for the humanity of Harvard men, no statistics exist for the incidence of atrocities among ground troops, but at the top of the command chain the criminal venture was planned by Harvard men--McGeorge Bundy, former dean of the Faculty, Robert MacNamara, a graduate of the Business School, and later Henry A.

The fault lay not only with the three Presidents who prosecuted the war but with the executive elites with whom they surrounded themselves, hubristic warrior-intellectuals like McGeorge Bundy and Walt Rostow and Robert MacNamara.

...powers that had created My Lai gladly left Calley to symbolize their way of war. The Army which fights with nauseating gas, white phosphorus, napalm, fragmentation bombs, and dum-dum bullets tried and convicted Calley. Medina was acquitted, Koster was reprimanded, Henderson will get off: Johnson, Rostow, Bundy, and MacNamara are above suspicion. In the center is Rusty Calley...
