While the final combat of the campaign was being worked out at Jonesborough, Thomas, on Sherman's instructions, ordered Slocum, now commanding the Twentieth Corps, to make an effort to occupy Atlanta if he could do so without exposing his bridgehead to a counterattack.

Sherman felt that his own part in the campaign was skillful and well executed but that the slowness of a part of his army robbed him of the larger fruits of victory.

Actually the Atlanta campaign was a military failure.

Within the narrow frame of military tactics, too, the experts agree that the campaign was brilliant.

During his aggressive campaign to win his present position, Mr. Kennedy was vitriolic about this country's `` prestige '' abroad.

The contention needs to be formulated with much greater precision than it ever was during the campaign, but once that has been done, I fail to see how any serious student of world affairs can quarrel with it.

But contrary to what was implied during the campaign, prestige is surely not important for its own sake.
