The quality the U.S. needs most of in the Cold War is "moral, mental, and physical stamina"; the men who make policy do not require imagination or intelligence so much as "facing up to hard realities." Well-researched, well-briefed, in a word, well-trained, Mr. Nixon battles his way through mobs in South America and debates with Mr. Kennedy...
