THINKING
"There have been many explanations of how we got into the Vietnam war...But all the explanations come back to one. It was the result of a long series of steps taken in response to a bureaucratic view of the world--a view to which a President willingly or unwillingly yielded and which, until much too late, was unchecked by any legislative or public opposition."
-John Kenneth Galbraith
