Respect Wanted. At a Moscow reception two weeks ago, Kroll found himself alongside Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, who casually suggested that some interim Berlin solution might be possible. Pressed to elaborate, Gromyko outlined a three-point plan in which West Berlin's freedom and its access to the West might be guaranteed in exchange for the West's agreement to "respect" East German sovereignty. Gromyko and U.S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk had gone over the same ground in their September talks in Washington and New York. But Kroll excitedly buttonholed Nikita Khrushchev on the subject...
...abrupt diplomatic maneuver that immediately recalled the prelude to the Winter War of 1939-40,* Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko summoned Veteran Finnish Ambassador Eero A. Wuori to the Soviet Foreign Ministry. Somberly. Gromyko handed him a 2,500-word note demanding consultations, under a 1948 mutual assistance treaty, "for ensuring defense of both countries from the threat of a military attack by Western Germany and allied states...

Because he has decided to fight if necessary, Kennedy is willing to continue talking with the Russians as long as possible, at the conference table or elsewhere. But he does not intend to negotiate in haste or from weakness...
...recent weeks, the U.S. press as a whole has found more kind than harsh words for the President-although the cartoonists were finding the New Frontier a happy hunting ground (see cuts). The Hearst papers praised Kennedy's "firmness and determination" in his talks with Soviet Ambassador Andrei Gromyko. In a series by its military writer, Dan Partner, the Denver Post felt that "positive leadership by the U.S.-especially its vow to fire atomic weapons if necessary to defend West Berlin-is slowly solidifying the North Atlantic Treaty Organization into a deterrent force demanding recognition by the Soviets."
