...poured thousands upon thousands of airborne units and Marines into a country where revolution had broken out against a military dictatorship and in favor of restoring the constitutional non-Communist government of Juan Bosch. After four days of hesitation, the U.S. deliberately sided with a group of generals who had distinguished themselves by their virulent insistence that the whole revolution was Communist-inspired...
...Communist lieutenants do not necessarily determine the fate of an uprising comprising tens of thousands of non-Communist Bosch supporters. Kennedy's experience with CIA reports before the Bay of Pigs should have suggested to Johnson that the CIA is occasionally inaccurate. Judging from New York Times reports, there was a good chance that the non-Communist pro-Bosch forces would have been able to win. Yet Johnson was in no mood to wager on the Dominican Republic becoming another Cuba. That is why he intervened...
...NEGOTIATED NEUTRALIZATION would only delay the effects of complete withdrawal. Right now, what is there to negotiate? The U.S. would have to insist on a non-Communist South Viet Nam. and this probably could be obtained only by 1) a foolproof international control, which is almost impossible to achieve; and 2) exclusion of the Communists from future South Vietnamese government, since "coalitions" including Reds usually end up all Red. But at present neither the Viet Cong nor their mentors in Hanoi or Peking have any reason to accept such terms. Thus any neutralization formula now possible would sooner or later...
...outspoken association of 40,000 judges, lawyers and law professors from more than 60 non-Communist countries does not really expect to reform the world. But it is convinced that publicizing any infraction of the rule of law serves an immediate and practical purpose. The presence and protest of a commission jurist at the 1960 "trial" of deposed Democrats in Turkey transformed that mob-ringed Roman circus overnight into an orderly judicial proceeding. And the glare of the commission's carefully documented study, Spain and the Rule of Law, eventually persuaded once furious Spanish officials to discuss incommunicado detentions...
While their names are seldom in the headlines and the real extent of their power is appreciated by only a few in siders, there is in the non-Communist world a band of global money managers who have done almost as much as politicians or generals to head off crisis and knit nations together. Using their specialized skills, they have built a delicately balanced monetary structure that for 20 years has helped to expand trade, travel and economic growth around the world. Last week they faced - and over came - the greatest challenge since their financial fortress was created at Bretton...
