Lyndon Johnson called it a "damned little pissant country." Even less flattering language was used by many of the half a million Americans in uniform who made their way through, around and above it: trooping across swamps, languishing in Quonset huts, piloting PT boats, spacing out on drugs, shelling from offshore, amputating limbs, bombing from B-52s, killing, maiming -- and getting maimed and killed. How all that ended is well known. Bill Clinton, a college dissenter during the height of hostilities in Vietnam, showed last week that he could put a coda to that sad history and make a fresh...

Among the more creative schemes: Beach had the government procure a refurbished World War II PT boat and dock it on the Potomac at the Washington Navy Yard. Eisenhower would be rushed by limousine -- one of two onyx-black Cadillacs with a tank engine under the hood -- to a prearranged point on the river, where the PT boat would be waiting. After sailing safely past the blast zone, the President would be met by Secret Service agents and driven to one of three underground command posts.
