Description
From time to time General Haig gets bogged down in details, but mostly this is an interesting show in its own right, and an impressive performance by a man we are vetting as presidential material. AH: "... That's the role of deterrence. And therefore [a nuclear force] should be analyzed from the political-psychological point of view as the first step, and the war-fighting point of view only as a secondary step--as important as that war-fighting point of view is." "I think it's rather ludicrous that Americans constantly turn to men who have had nothing but legislative experience to take on a job which is, after all, the chief executive office of this land."
