The Quagmire Papers (Cont.)
By Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.
I regret that I misconstrued Leslie Gelb's argument in his Foreign Policy piece—and only plead in extenuation that, according to him, I share with Daniel Ellsberg the misreading of Mr. Gelb's proposition that 'US involvement [in Indochina] did not stem from a failure to foresee consequences.' Mr. Gelb's position emerges a good deal more clearly in his comment in The New York Review of December 2.
