...intervention in Hungary, and recently shaken by a succession of espionage cases involving the Russians. Sweden was advised to quiet the anti-Russian tone of its press. Denmark, which like Norway has bases but forbids NATO planes to occupy them except under threat of imminent attack, got a Bulganin note eight days after Norway's. It was just as blunt: "If war is opened against the U.S.S.R., the annihilating power of modern weapons is so great it would be tantamount to suicide for foreign countries the size of Denmark...
Harding had scarcely put foot to ground before he was making his points plain. The "terrorists" had suffered "heavy losses," which had "obviously" affected their morale, he told airport reporters.

Toasts & Hubris. The book is crowded with friends who somehow all sound alike. Novelist John (The Wall) Hersey sets the note when he says ("tightly") by way of farewell: "You make me want to write!" and adds in a letter: "My dear, calm friend! . . . You are noble . . . You manage to make a kind of dance of it." Not all will want to follow the last steps of the dreadful dance, when Lael Tucker's second husband (whom she divorced to marry Wertenbaker) visits the dying man and sitting before the fire says: "You are the best . . .
