This man repudiated his previous tactical views in a memoir titled In Retrospect. While tasked with undoing the New Look policy, he gave poorly-received speeches outlining his "no cities" tactical approach. This man's government career was followed by a 13-year presidency of the World Bank, and preceded by his work with the "Whiz Kids" as he rose up the (*) Ford Motor Company. This subject of Errol Morris' documentary The Fog of War used statistics such as the "body count" to help personally choose bombing targets; like Kissinger, he emphasized "flexible response" over massive nuclear retaliation. For 10 points, name this commissioner of the Pentagon Papers, a man who amped up the Vietnam War as Secretary of Defense for John F. Kennedy.
