Extract

I favor U.S. intervention in Vietnam. Nevertheless I bring to my subject the attitude of a native-born Washingtonian who remembers that the last time the Senators won the pennant was in 1933, and who is inclined to believe that if you're not wining, there's something wrong. There's something wrong with your theory, there's something wrong with your practice, something wrong someplaee if year after year you end up in tenth, ninth or eighth place. There's little comparable in terms of winning or losing wars of national liberation; obviously one of the things that is most upsetting is that they are not apparently amenable to “winning or losing.” Winning has to be redefined and that redefinition is part of my present task.
