Calculated Leak. Another sign that the heat is temporarily off is Nikita Khrushchev's apparent new willingness to diminish his menaces. At a Kremlin reception, Khrushchev told correspondents that "for the time being, it is not good for Russia and the U.S. to push one another." In a well-planted leak to West German Ambassador Hans Kroll last week, Khrushchev tentatively offered the West a set of modified proposals to end the crisis...

Thus, if Khrushchev is really intent on bringing Europe and America permanently together, he would be well-advised to intensify his economic offensive--dumping gold, goods, and services on all Western markets. Otherwise, even guarded federalist hopes may prove premature...
