...back them all the way. As far back as Oct. 15, 1960, in a Johnstown, Pa., campaign speech, Kennedy had said: "Mr. Nixon hasn't mentioned Cuba very prominently in this campaign.

...tense 1950s had done. Pearson talked trade with the Russians, "did my best to disabuse them of some of their ideas about Americans in general and Mr. Dulles in particular." On a memorable October day he flew to the Crimea and a first meeting with Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin. After some 19 toasts and some hard talk on NATO, Pearson and three aides marched straight, heads up, to their car, noted with pride that they left their hosts in worse condition than they were...
