Aware that the White House meeting was about to take place, and probably anticipating Taylor's recommendations, the North Vietnamese and the Chinese Communists had already started bawling charges that U.S. planes were bombing Communist installations in the so-called neutralist buffer zone between North and South Viet Nam. And hardly was the White House meeting over than the Soviet Union started squawling about how the U.S. was "playing with fire" in even considering a step up in the Vietnamese war effort...

In some countries this has at least partly worked. But what if non-Communist governments were to col lapse, giving way to Communist or neutralist regimes without a single Chinese soldier crossing a frontier? Obviously, the only U.S. choice then would be to pull out or to fight. What would the answer be? One psychological difficulty faced by the U.S. in Southeast Asia now is that many people doubt the answer really would be"to fight...
