LAMC Richard Nixon and The Pentagon Papers Discussion
Short answer: choose one, write a half-page to one-page.
1) How did the Vietnam War change after 1965? What was new or different about US
involvement between (approximately) 1965-1968 than during the Kennedy years or even
earlier?
2) What exactly were the “Pentagon Papers”? Why was Richard Nixon so distraught over
their leakage? In your opinion, do you think Ellsberg was right to leak them or should
they have remained classified?
