- <p> DIED. Hanson Baldwin, 88, veteran military analyst of the New
- York Times who won a 1943 Pulitzer Prize for his reporting of
- the war in the Pacific; in Roxbury, Conn. An Annapolis graduate
- who served in the Navy during the 1920s, Baldwin joined the
- Times in 1929. In 1937 he warned of America's unreadiness for
- war, and in 1941 he predicted "another quick and decisive
- German victory" over the Soviet Union. In 1965 Baldwin advocated
- sending up to a million American men to fight in Vietnam while
- acknowledging that such a course would cause the war to be
- "long, nasty and wearing"; the Times ran an editorial denouncing
- his hawkish stand.
