Fortnight ago. he roused his countrymen by declaring that the safety of Laos "runs with the safety of us all." and he dispatched the U.S. Seventh Fleet and supporting forces toward Laos to back his implied deadline on a cease-fire in Laos. Kennedy flew to Key West for a first meeting with Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan early last week, met next day at the White House with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko at Gromyko's request...
