President Kennedy hustled Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Averell Harriman, who had hammered out the basic format for the Geneva Agreement last summer, to Moscow to urge on Khrushchev the need for Russian intercession in Laos. "We regard the maintenance of the Geneva accords as essential to the security of Laos itself," said Kennedy, "and as a test of whether it is possible for an accord to be reached between countries which have serious differences."

To Pope John, the world is in the midst of evolution, and political institutions need...
This is also one of the political purposes of the Soviet nuclear test series, the scientist said--to push the United States toward a disarmament agreement. He emphasized that such an accord would be against U.S. interests, because the United States would be politically incapable of throwing as much money into an economic competition as the Soviet Union...
