But in a new book, Southern Methodist University sociologist Wil liam Uibson shoots down those ex planations, saying the war was the full-strength execution of “techno war,” a new style of fighting that took a businesslike approach to kill ing. “The Perfect War: Technowar in Vietnam,” (Atlantic Monthly Press, $24.95), has been compared to the movie “Platoon” for its clear-sighted look at the question: “How could a nation of peasants on bicycles defeat the United States?" The answer, according to Gibson’s book, is that the U.S. military ma chine viewed North Vietnam as a mirror image, albeit a poorer one, operating under the same principles and motivations. “There were no ‘mistakes’ made during the Vietnam War,” Gibson writes. “Nor was there a failure of will; the self-imposed restraints were only on official paper, not in Tech nowar practice.” Under technowar, the chief objec tive is driving the enemy “bankrupt” of manpower. Bombing targets were evaluated in economic terms of kill ratios, and quarterly reports re corded the body counts as debits and credits. The concept was responsible for the United States never coming to grips with its enemy, ignoring the years of social struggle against in vaders in Vietnam and accepting in flated body counts in the search for a better bottom line, Gibson says. The corporate concept, with en listed men taking the guise of shift workers while officers sought up ward mobility, led to the breakdown of loyalty in the ranks, he says. One wall of Gibson’s SMU office is lined with books about Vietnam, ranging from the gritty memoirs of foot soldiers to the technical prose of the Pentagon Papers. Gibson, 55, was not drafted be cause of a progressive eye disease. He spent more than seven years re searching the book, discovering the businesslike aspect of the war while reading the Pentagon Papers. “When I saw that they were writ ing in terms of a productive system, then I thought, 'Well, why don’t 1 try to reconstruct the war as a society,’ ” he said. “Once I came up with that Dallas homeless use main library facilities to sleep, bathe, shave DALLAS (AP) — The downtown central library has gained a national reputation for its innovative pro grams and building, but for hun dreds of homeless people it is popu lar for another reason. Dozens of street people are gath ered outside the library a few min utes before 9 a.m. each day, waiting for the doors to open. When the library doors are opened each morning, the street people begin filing in, and many scurry first to the bathrooms to wash up, shave, even take a bath of sorts in preparation for another day on the streets of downtown Dallas. They stretch out for hours in the library’s comfortable reading chairs, occasionally dozing alongside the stacks of books and newspapers. Even when temperatures are mild, 100 to 200 homeless people usually can be found sitting or sleep ing in the library, library director Patrick O’Brien said. The number often doubles in more extreme weather, he said. O’Brien said although the street people tend to be passive and try to be unobtrusive, he fears they are driving other patrons away. “The library provides the only safe shelter that will not turn the homeless aw'ay during the day,” O’Brien told the Dallas Morning News. “They can’t go into any of the stores, and they get kicked out of the underground passageways down town.” O’Brien said that in recent months, library security guards found a man washing his leet in a toilet and a woman who had washed her clothes in a library sink and was spreading them on chairs and tables to dry. “We don’t want to stand in the door and say, ‘We don’t want you be cause you don’t look good or smell good,’ ” he said. “That would violate their civil rights.” After the number of street people using the library grew over the win ter months, O’Brien sought help from the Greater Dallas Commission for the Homeless, he said. Since April, commission and staff members have been looking for a downtown location to serve as a day center for as many as 400 homeless people, said Russ Delatour, who as sists the commission and is executive director of the Community Council of Greater Dallas. Four privately owned buildings were identified as a possible site but a funding source has not been found. Craig Holcomb, a member of the Dallas City Council, said efforts to open a day center downtown for street people are important not just from a humanitarian standpoint, but for preserving the library and down town retail businesses. Other regions gaining needed employees from troubled Houston HOUSTON (AP) — The dark clouds hanging over Houston’s de pressed economy are revealing a sil ver lining to employers in other parts of the country. Police departments, hotels, the U.S. government and one state em ployment commission have been re cruiting job applicants from Hous- ton’s strapped economic environment. In a unique program, the Texas and Virginia state employment com missions have been working to gether to match some of Houston’s out-of-work technical professionals with unfilled jobs in northern Vir ginia. coming migrants with jobs here, Mc Neil and others often are trying to match the departing unemployed with jobs elsewhere. "We had people leaving Houston with no information as to where the job opportunities are,” McNeil says. “We felt if we could provide any in formation as to where the jobs are, that’s better than nothing at all.” The program is too new to be able to gauge results, but initial indica tions have shown Virginia businesses are interested in Texas talent, he says. “It seemed like an opportune time to match our workforce with their job openings,” says Ira McNeil of the Texas Employment Commission in Houston, where the March jobless rate was 9 percent. Meanwhile, northern Virginia, with an unemployment rate of less than 3 percent, has a special need for engineers and construction workers. The two states have been working together since early this year, sending Texas resumes eastward for evaluation by prospec tive employers. For McNeil and others, the prob lem used to be filling jobs in Hous ton’s swelling economy. During the boom years of the late 1970s, the TEC used to have a list of 5,000 to 6,000 vacant jobs a day, according to spokesman Randy Walker. The TEC now averages about 1,200 listings, Walker says. Today, rather than matching in- “I don’t want to see anyone leav ing, hut people can’t live in limbo,” says Mark Clark, president of the Houston Police Officers Association. “We hope it is going to be fruitful for some people,” Walker says. “We don’t have any delusions it will be fruitful for all the people.” Dan Carney, staffing specialist for the federal Bureau of Printing and Engraving, says he also has been working to recruit chemists, engi neers and computer specialists from Houston to work for the federal agency in Washington, where gov ernment jobs often are bypassed for higher-paying private sector jobs. model, I just decided to see ho.
