Given the Soviet Union's aggressive new stance, the Administration could argue that it had little choice, but a defensible choice is not necessarily a desirable...

And with that he started walking back up the aisle to his seat at the front of the plane, still holding me in tow by my hand, while he repeated his joke to the reporters on either side of him, "The Haaaaarvard CRIMson.
