JUST POSTED ON TAP ONLINE: HOW CONGRESS HELPED END THE VIETNAM WAR. As Congress begins to debate how to wind down the U.S. presence in Iraq, we've made available a very timely piece from our upcoming print issue. Historian Julian Zelizer takes a detailed look at how the Vietnam-era Congress -- and not just the foreign-policy doves, but the fiscal conservatives as well -- compelled the Johnson and Nixon administrations to limit and eventually end America�s military intervention in Southeast Asia. Zelizer, a professor of history at Boston University, a Guggenheim Fellow and the author of acclaimed studies of Congress, reports how Congress influenced public opinion, limited the scope of the war, and eventually restricted funding for the conflict. --The Editors
