George Ball, Undersecretary of State:
Clark, I can't tell you how grateful I am to finally have an ally at the barricades. Clark Clifford:
Well, it's just what makes sense, George. Not to Bob McNamara, but to me. A million men was straight out of your memo of October of last year. An impressively persuasive document, in my opinion. George Ball, Undersecretary of State:
All 67 pages of it? Well, it's true I haven't shown much restraint on the subject. If the President brought you in, it must be because I'm like... an old, broken record now. Clark Clifford:
Then there'll be two of us - scratchy and irritating as hell
