The MacArthur Affair.

The article discusses the political career of Richard Nixon. Most accounts of Nixon's career in the Senate adopt an apologetic tone, as if it were hardly fair to count this interval against him. It is customary to brush lightly over the fact that he served only 19 months, that freshman Senators are more often seen than heard, that as a congenital lone wolf he failed to achieve any real personal standing in the "most exclusive club in the world." From the beginning, Nixon was one of those who failed to grasp the concept of a limited war as a combined politico-military struggle.
