Osler's Razor

John S. Knight had lost a son in military service. He was a true patriot who did not believe that we should align U.S. interests with colonial powers like the French in Viet Nam, as that would result in them seeking assistance from and aligning with the Soviets or the Chinese. The Dulles brothers had an opportunity to have Ho Chi Minh come to the U.S. to plead his case and threatened him, if he came, of being turned over to the French. The Dulles brothers were afraid of Viet Nam becoming a satellite of China, then communist, ignorant that the Viet Namese hated the Chinese due to their enslavement as a colony of China over centuries. Knight was right, the Dulles were wrong.
 

I agree with Waco Friend re: Knight and the Akron Beacon Journal, our afternoon paper when I was a kid in Ohio. We also got the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

We got the Washington Post and Washington Star and I delivered both. As well as the Virginia Sentinel.
 

Well, I just admire your honesty about not being able to read.
