...guerrillas would agree to a cease fire contingent upon provision for internationally supervised elections (and their propaganda supports this) American withdrawal of military aid would force Diem either to accept the elections or to leave. In any case this possibility should be at least explored. The status quo is intolerable...
Despite Khrushchev's comment-which might have been made strictly for domestic consumption-the Administration is going ahead on the assumption that Russia still wants the wheat. The next move is up to Kennedy, who could get things started by quietly giving wheat brokers the green light to accept Russian orders-provided the Russians are still buying.

An unattractive building, unlike an unattractive painting, disfigures more than someone's living room: it is in the public esthetic domain. Had Dean Sert built his building in his back yard away from civilization, I would keep silent. He built...
