...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...
...stick by them. Only a few weeks ago talk was rife in Western capitals of a "deal" with the Russians over Germany; last week that talk had all but vanished. Kennedy is determined to go to war over Berlin if necessary-and he so warned Russia's Andrei Gromyko during their October talk at the White House.

At his press conference, the President reported somberly: "The talks which we had with Mr. Gromyko did not give us immediate hope that this matter would be easily settled...On the substance, we are not in sight...
RETURNING to London after two weeks at the U.N. General Assembly, including several talks with Andrei Gromyko, the British Foreign Secretary reported one overriding impression. The Russians now clearly understand, said Lord Home, that the West is fully prepared to fight a nuclear war for the freedom of Berlin. Whether or not the Russians have really only just learned this fact, the U.S. has implicitly accepted it for a long time. For many Americans, this decision may be merely emotional or instinctive. But behind the emotions and the instinct lies a carefully reasoned moral case. That case...
