Indeed it is, and State Department men who remember the demoralizing days of John Foster Dulles and Joe McCarthy count another kind of progress. Two months ago, Nixon Counsellor Clark Mollenhoff, who has since returned to a journalist's job with the Des Moines Register, made a request to State Department Deputy Undersecretary William B. Macomber Jr. for the names of the 250 department employees who had presented Rogers with a petition critical of the U.S. position in Cambodia.

...must place part of the blame on the fact that landing on the moon was much duller than any story could have been. The astronauts found no subterranean insect monsters (H. G.

Doubtful Doctrine. Such differences indicate that the Nixon Doctrine, calling for "Asian initiatives" in self-defense, may prove devilishly difficult to put into practice. Two years ago, Political Scientist Morton Halperin, a veteran of Clark Clifford's Defense Department, said: "A threat is important only if it is regarded as such by those in the region." As the Thai example shows, the countries of Southeast Asia are a long way from agreeing on the nature of the threat...
