...intentions have grown more than somewhat confusing. Last week Defense Secretary Melvin Laird, appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said that "we will use, as necessary, sea and air resources to supplement the efforts and the armed forces of our friends and allies who are determined to resist aggression." That seemed to pledge considerable military might, short of ground forces, to secure Lon Nol or a similarly inclined Cambodian leader. Two days later Rogers said: "The U.S. is not fighting for the defense of Cambodia. The U.S. is fighting to protect American soldiers in Viet...
...from a small, neutral, underdeveloped country that recognizes Peking, who has kept on reasonably good terms with both superpowers, and who reflects what one diplomat calls "a comfortable level of mediocrity."

...fact" (and I have shown what sort of fact) offers the only plausible motivation for staging, in huge panorama, each of the three major battles of the first Civil War. With the nitty-gritty gore and pageant out of the way, the American viewer could hardly be expected to resist a few heart-pangs when Harris walks through mist to touch the corpse of his son, slung over a horse, a battle casualty. This, the signal for intermission, brought instead groans of irritation from the Pi Alley audience. If cliches be wanted, cliche vendors like Ken Hughes must take...
