Yet Hanoi is pouring more men and matériel into the South each month. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a long, costly stalemate may well persuade more and more Americans that the pacifists and isolationists and columnists such as Walter Lippmann-not to mention Mao Tse-tung and Ho Chi Minh-were right all along in arguing that...
