...hindsight, use of the B-52s had been an expensive means of hunting guerrillas, and the scheme's only real merit may well have been psychological. Hanoi could hardly fail to notice how quickly and easily SAC's huge squadrons had been brought into the Viet Nam battle. The B-52s would, of course, be enormously effective if turned onto the cities or factories of the north.

The kids scheme, pray, go on a hunger strike, and occasionally throw up as part of a campaign that Brazzi decries as "legally and morally wrong." But children know best: in such strained and saccharine circumstances, a touch of nausea is inevitable...
