...exasperating thing about this attitude is its persistence despite the undeniable contribution universities continue to make to the national welfare and security. Universities gave this country the atom bomb, radar, napalm, and cures for innumerable diseases. More top-secret research, more trained leadership for government and industry are following out of universities now than at any other time, and yet the public insists on drawing its impressions not from the river of loyalty but from the trickle of Communist affiliation...

On the way in, we saw Hellcat and Bearcat fighters filling the tight green valleys with the orange-red bursts and the soot-black smoke of napalm.

Planes of four allied air arms-U.S. Air Force and Marines, Australians, ROKs-softened Big and Little Nori with bombs, rockets and napalm that whooshed up in hideous, billowing, orange-and-black globes. The U.N. artillery put in VT (variable-time-fused) shells for airbursts which the gunners hoped would send sharp fragments flying into the enemy ratholes. One clear morning, after Thunder jets and artillery had given the hill a final treatment, the ROKs attacked again, in single...
