...this war." But surely, in an hour and a half of head-butting with Presidential Advisor Henry Kissinger, Bok and the other presidents must have realized that this road of protest has been travelled many times before. It is difficult to see how yet another trip down the beaten path could reap more tangible results than previously...
...rocket destroyed my house, so I had no choice. They shot at us so we don't go, but we ran for two days until we hit the mines." For the first time in the current Communist offensive, sizable numbers of Americans, too, are in the path of the assault.

The invocation of support for the presidency has been tried before. The conscious invocation of superpower collision has heretofore been carefully avoided by proud but prudent men. But national honor is not what beleaguered presidents define it to be; it is greater and more enduring. And blind support for presidents is at the very taproot of our continuing Indochina calamity.
