...good deal more attractive, more subtle and more formidable than I had expected." Defense Secretary Robert McNamara is a "tough, courteous and humane technocrat, for whom scientific management was not an end in itself but a means to the rationality of democratic government." White House Aide McGeorge Bundy, "in spite of the certified propriety of his background, had an audacious mind and was quite capable of contempt for orthodoxy."
