...stay at Jupiter Island in the warm Florida sunshine, with the cold war left behind him, would help him recover from effects of the heavy radiation treatment at Walter Reed, would also give doctors a chance to find out whether the radiation treatment had arrested the spread of his cancer. After he found the answers, he would decide whether to 1) carry on as Secretary of State, 2) resign as Secretary but carry on in perhaps the high-level, influential capacity of presidential adviser on foreign affairs, or 3) resign and retire. Last week's clues, for the deduction...
