...Kennedy went on to caution against exaggerating the importance of the crisis, and what he later called "war hysteria." Said he: "This is not the first abuse of Soviet power, nor will it be the last ... It is less than a year since the Vienna summit when President Carter kissed President Brezhnev on the cheek.
