PENTAGON POLITICS

Russell Baker, N.Y.Times columnist:

"You can argue the politics of the 60s either way. The Red Hunts probably made many Americans behave more swinishly than they normally would..... On the other hand, when the military establishment proposed using tactical atomic weapons to rescue surrounded French troops at Dienbienphu, President Eisenhower told the Pentagon the country was not going to get bogged down in a war in Vietnam. Many a decade has since passed without providing us with another president nervy enough to say no to the Pentagon."
