Striking though the individual elements are, they do not always mesh.

...brinkmanship, Dean Rusk remarked, as Soviet ships steamed home from Cuba with the rockets on their decks, "We're eyeball to eyeball, and the other fellow just blinked." In negotiating the understanding that ended the crisis, Andrei Gromyko's deputy, Vasily Kuznetsov, said sternly to his American counterpart, John McCloy, "You Americans will never be able to do this to us again."
