From a strictly military viewpoint, the chiefs would like to 1) install a U.S. commander, 2) support him with U.S. air power and a naval blockade of the China coast, 3) give him money and men to develop independent native armies-much as General James Van Fleet developed them in Greece and the Republic of Korea...

Nothing that I said while at the meetings of economists in Washington came close in sound or meaning to the statement attributed to me: "The bigness bugaboo took a licking here." I did remark, in an off-the-cuff discussion with one of your reporters, that many economists have apparently come to consider monopolistic business as much less widespread and important in the American economy than they had formerly believed. I suggested that this change of attitude...
