...season a generation of career soldiers, the experience seems more an example of military?and political?misjudgment than of calculated aggressiveness. The military, which oversold Lyndon Johnson on the efficiency of air power against North Viet Nam, can be faulted; so can the State Department, which insisted that Ho Chi Minh, despite his Soviet training and his country's history of resistance to Chinese influence, was little more than Peking's puppet. But the final decisions lay with the Chief Executive. When it came to the point of choosing between certain defeat of the South Vietnamese armies and the introduction...
...make perhaps more lasting gains along China's own borders.

...last year's Tet offensive, the present Communist attacks are clearly designed to embarrass the U.S. forces-which have been the target of most of these assaults-cause heavy casualties and demonstrate that the Communists can still stage dramatic attacks on the big cities of South Viet Nam. Ho Chi Minh thereby hopes to test the mettle of the young Nixon Administration by rekindling dissatisfaction with the war in the U.S., and to strengthen his bargaining hand in Paris. As the attacks continued on the President's return from his European tour, the country waited...
