...return of Pueblo's crew five months ago backed the Pentagon into a cruel corner. Navy regulations and service sentiment seemed heavily in favor of punishing Commander Lloyd M. Bucher, and perhaps others, for allowing the vessel and her secret documents to fall into hostile hands without a serious attempt at resistance or destruction. To most of the public, though, Pueblo's skipper and crew were heroes who had suffered and survived eleven months of North Korean brutality. They were not for hanging.

Nonetheless, confronted with a recurrence, he managed to rise above summer oratory and ensure that there was, in fact, less tension generated this time than by the Pueblo incident.

Some analysts believe that he requested the present-that he issued instructions for another incident at the right moment, a sort of flying Pueblo. What makes Kim and his regime act that...
