...Connally's mentor, Lyndon B. Johnson, had a courage hang-up too. It lay in another direction. He talked about how he resembled Matt Dillon riding into town on his big horse. How Texas Rangers, men he admired, just kept coming at you even though they were shot. How he could not be a man to back away from a fight. There are some historians who believe L.B.J.'s narrow view of courage led us deeper into Viet...

The White House does not believe that the Soviets deliberately intended to harm the ambassador. It was simply their brutish sense of how strong-and, yes, courageous-men respond in a crisis.

In a limited punitive strike, the Chinese would probably not deploy more than 200,000 men, though the PLA's available reserves in southern China are immense if the conflict should widen. China currently has about 1.6 million men along the Soviet border-a force that Peking may decide to augment if Moscow raises the combat readiness of its own 1 million troops on the frontier in response to the crisis.
