...offers little immediate prospect for substantial savings. Former U.S. Budget Director Charles Schultze, now of the Brookings Institution, in Agenda for the Nation, effectively explodes the idea that the annual $29 billion that the war is now costing will be available for domestic needs. Working from an optimistic "scenario" that assumes an early end to the fighting and deactivation of some troops beginning in July, Schultze foresees no substantial reduction in military expenditures until 1971. Ordnance and munitions lines run on after any cessation of hostilities to rebuild depleted inventories. In a war like the one in Viet Nam, substantial...
...Styles in Leftism," which first appeared in a 1965 issue of Dissent). What is new is the somewhat hysterical appropriation of this analysis--albeit in a generally less sophisticated form--by establishment liberals. On any given Sunday, the odds are good this sort of analysis of the "mood" or "scenario" of radicalism can be found leaking from page to page of the Times magazine section.

...scenario calls for a quiet death among concerned chipmunks," Thomas Merton once wrote a friend after surviving major surgery, "and I'd like it that way." He did not get his wish. On the very day that Karl Barth lay dying in Basel, the 53-year-old Trappist poet-priest was attending an ecumenical conference of Roman Catholic and non-Christian monks in suburban Bangkok. Returning to his bungalow to rest during the hot afternoon, he reached out to adjust an electric fan and apparently touched an exposed wire. He was instantly electrocuted...
