The injury to Szaro, a football player considered to have as great a potential as anyone who ever entered Harvard, is especially grievous. The Polish immigrant and erstwhile soccer player, according to Yovicsin, has a great deal still to learn about the game, and will be badly handicapped by missing the September drills.

For so risky an action as a strafing run on North Korean vessels, the President's approval would have been needed. But Johnson was asleep, unaware of the situation until his advisers finally tipped him off a full 2 hrs. and 15 min. after Pueblo had been boarded. Even if the chain of communication had been less sluggish and reached Johnson in time for him to approve an air strike, his O.K. would have meant nothing. The world's foremost airpower did not have...
