War Is Hell for Senator Jackson
Weiner, Bernard | August 31, 1970 issue

add to cart   close window

U.S. Senator Henry M. Jackson, commonly referred to as "the honorable Senator from Boeing," is the perfect political expression of the military-industrial-labor complex. Having been mesmerized long ago by prevailing myths of the cold war, Jackson over the years has become Senator Superhawk in the Congress on the issues of the Indo-Chinese War, nerve gas, ABM, MIRV, SST, and any other alphabet scramble that can prime the defense-space industries' pump. It is no wonder that Jackson, though a loyal Democrat, originally was U.S. President Richard M. Nixon's first choice to be Secretary of Defense.
