Chinese Torture. Grey, a rugged but wiry six-footer, has become tense and pale under this peculiar form of Chinese torture. At the second of two 20 minute visits that British diplomats have been allowed to pay him in 17 months, he complained of chest pains, reported that a Communist doctor conceded that he may have bronchitis-but would not do much about it.

That analysis is a little glib. Harvard was able to support the United States armed forces eagerly during World War II, and the same might well be true of a future military commitment--in the Middle East or Berlin, for example. There is nothing wrong with the proposition that the role of the military in foreign policy decisions should be curbed, but to pretend that the army is something the country...
