Times to Print Secret Vietnam War Study
New York Times resisted a Justice Department bid to halt publication of a top secret Pentagon study on U.S. involvement in Indochina. Attorney General Mitchell warned of an injunction, while Times editor Walter Cronkite or publisher Arthur Sulzberger stated the paper would publish and let the courts decide. The 40 volume study, three years in progress, includes sections on clandestine warfare and the Johnson administration's 1964 decisions.
