To defend its interests properly in the Third World, the United States will have to take low intensity conflict much more seriously. It is a form of warfare in which the "enemy" is more or less omnipresent and unlikely ever to surrender. In the past we have sometimes seen these attacks as a succession of transient and isolated crisis. We now have to think of them as a permanent addition to the menu of defense planning problems.

  then in loosely organized gatherings, and finally in Baron's Hed, Sulons
  principal city. Because the demonstration was over before Imperial forces had
  time to react, the colonists escaped without arrest, much to the local
  Commandant's embarrassment.
  
  However, thanks to the holos that had
