Senator Fulbright played coy about his Memorandum on the Sins of the Military. It was just a hasty private note (like Robert Welch’s The Politician, perhaps?) that he had scribbled to a friend at the Pentagon, he explained to fellow Senators who vainly asked if they might see a copy. No, he couldn’t figure at all how that New York Times chap got the direct quotes and summary. But you never know about the New York Times, do you?
