While an army of collegians campaigned for Eugene McCarthy in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, a few key lieutenants determined the Senator's strategy. Blair Clark, 50, a polished, detached former newsman, is national campaign chairman and overall strategist. A classmate (Harvard '40) and friend of John F. Kennedy, Clark was head of CBS News (1961-64), then associate publisher of the New York Post (1965-66). Richard Goodwin, 36, one of the most talented New Frontier wordmen and a man of seemingly inexhaustible energy, lends the oratorical luster to many of McCarthy's speeches and is, besides...
Communist Campaign Strategist Giorgio Amendola, 60, hopes that this leverage can be captured by the left in the coming election by cutting the center-rightist representation below 50%. As Italy's most powerful party, the Christian Democrats cannot be denied a part in any coalition government , formed, no matter what the vote.

Indeed, there are some chilling parallels between Giap's winter-spring offensive in 1954 and the current Red strategy. While the Communists built up their strength at Dienbienphu to 40,000 men-the estimated force now around Khe Sanh-they simultaneously launched assaults against the French throughout Indo-China. The Tet offensive was a similar widespread assault by the Communists which may have been aimed...
...Impression of Stalemate. There was no doubt about who was the strategist behind the Communists' desperate thrust: North Viet Nam's Defense Minister General Vo Nguyen Giap, the charismatic victor over the French at Dienbienphu in 1954 and creator of the North Vietnamese army. In its surprise, its boldness, the sweep of its planning and its split-second orchestration, the general offensive bore all the unmistakable marks of Giap's genius. All the evidence indicated, in fact, that probably for the first time since the war against the French, Giap was personally directing the entire campaign in South Viet...
