There was no formal news conference, no crush of reporters, no tangle of television cables. The announcement came by means of an open letter-under a plain letterhead reading "Richard M. Nixon, New York, New York"-that was delivered by messenger boys to the Associated Press and United Press International in Manhattan.

I have no excuse whatsoever. Our espionage acts are plain acts of aggression and criminal acts that violated the rudimental norms of international...
