The Halls of Power

Former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, seen here with President Kennedy in 1961, passed away on July 6, 2009. He served as defense secretary from 1961 to 1968, a crucial point in the development of modern American foreign policy, and walked the halls of power with some of our best-known statesmen.
