Developing this argument, Bob Taft could not resist a sideswipe at his No. i fellow aspirant for the G.O.P. nomination. "A steady deterioration in our comparative air power," he observed, "began while General Eisenhower was Chief of Staff." Then he lunged again at the Democratic Administration.

They had already (and unwisely) given Nam Il & Co. a much higher estimate; they knew the Reds would not accept the 70,000 figure. The U.N. negotiators reportedly asked Matt Ridgway for a rescreening...
