Kennedy. was in the White House. Bobby was making rather different noises from those he makes now. when his constant chirp from the eaves is "Coocoo." In those days he was a member of the National Security council. It is not of record that he opposed the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion. in which the Kennedy administration contributed some 1.100 refugee Cubans to certain extinction or capture. bereft of air cover or support. As a member of the council. he indorsed the first major military commitment. the first major escalation. in Viet Namthe increase in President Eisenhowers advisory training mission of 773 men to a field force of 16.500 men. which was soon in the fighting. Now Bobby is very bitter that President Johnson persists in staying in Viet Nam. holding the field against the Communists. and may even be considering more troops if not even more forcible action.
