Foggy, indeed. There's plenty to digest in this documentary interview with '60s Defense Sec. Robert McNamara. The "lessons" of his life are worth hearing, as far as they go, but they can be hard to assimilate, particularly given the distracting presence of the man himself. The most chilling aspect of McNamara's presence: the physical resemblance, particularly in the archive footage, between him and the current (then, early-2000s) Secretary of Defense--an odd omen that history may be repeating, regardless of past knowledge.
