...Moscow summit. Milan's respected columnist Enzo Bettiza said that the summit marked the start "of a new era of clarification, of ideological realism, of diplomatic maturity in international relations."

McNamara raised the possibility of compromise with Johnson, but did not urge it, and Johnson chose to unleash more Rolling Thunder. The papers also reveal that Johnson authorized serious consideration, including consultation with academic scientists, of the idea of creating an electronic and manned "fence" that would cut the infiltration trails across South Viet Nam's northern border.
