Taylor Quietly Blends Into Pentagon Background
General Maxwell D. Taylor, once a vocal defense policy figure, has stepped back from the public eye as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In the year since Kennedy named him, he has acted as a bridge between military professionals and civilian authorities, serving McNamara as chief military adviser while maintaining a strong White House presence.
