...cope with than those of the past. The fact that Nikita Khrushchev is speaking more softly does not mean that he has abandoned his aim to seek the expansion of Communist power, a goal so deeply rooted and institutionalized that Soviet leaders will feel almost a historical duty to exploit gaps in the capacity, unity and will of the West...
...dangers of the new period are accompanied by new opportunities that the U.S. and its allies must meet, and indeed exploit, with all their ingenuity and effort.
