...Navy's unconcealed rage against the Guidance and the proposed shipbuilding cutbacks has jolted the Administration. At background briefings all around the Pentagon Harold Brown's aides have been straining to explain their reasons for issuing the controversial document. While many of their arguments are practical and plausible, they prove one of the Navy's charges: strategy has become a product of budget requirements and not vice versa, as ideally and theoretically it should be. One of Brown's aides admits: "The Commander in Chief has decided that the defense budget is $126 billion and that the emphasis must...

...part, the document is the revenge of conservative bishops who were caught off guard by the sudden move leftward at Medellin. Indeed, the secretariat that prepared the agenda for that 1968 conference was loaded with progressive and radical thinkers, among them a Peruvian priest, Gustavo Gutiérrez, who later wrote the influential A Theology of Liberation. But since 1972 the secretary-general of CELAM has been Bogotá's Auxiliary Bishop Alfonso López Trujillo, a staunch young conservative.
