...within the chosen framework, you don't diddle around. The gradualism we are practicing in South Viet Nam is a perversion of flexible response." The remarkable thing about the McNamara-Wheeler relationship is that both men, despite differing views on so many fundamental questions, have managed to work so productively in partnership...
There is need for a philosophical framework for all the U.S. cultural, educational, economic and propaganda activities that are presently scattered, conflicting and unwieldy.

The Eastern "scales" he uses are now definitely required running by jazz musicians, especially bassists, whose solos frequently echo his soulful, inscrutable improvisations...
