However it happens-through negotiation or just by a fade-away-the war must end some day, and it is in line with this certainty that the peace efforts will and must continue. Said Rusk in Tokyo, reiterating a favorite theme: "I would be in Geneva tomorrow if there was somebody from Hanoi and Peking to talk about peace." Trouble is, as one U.S. diplomat put it, "the other side keeps hanging up the phone." Nonetheless, while the bombs keep falling, the phone will keep ringing...
...nearly a year, while Lyndon Johnson, Dean Rusk and Robert McNamara agonized over whether to step up the U.S. air raids on North Viet Nam, one presidential adviser consistently argued that the bombing of the petroleum depots around Hanoi and Haiphong was vital to the U.S. war effort.

There is an obvious interest in moving toward peace with Russia, said Rusk, but "the main ingredient is our own solidarity." For one thing, the West itself was not yet united on the terms for a settlement...

The State Department and the Administration "discount far too heavily the reactions of a rising political force in the United States -- that is especially important in the field of foreign policy. That is the college and university community...
