...privately told important matters, which we are encouraged to say on our own, but cautioned against citing specific authority for our source. We are well accustomed, in Washington and elsewhere, to interviews "not for attribution," to background briefings and all the other in-between ways of disseminating news.

...love me in my every humour? Or would you prefer to think of me as always dignified?" wrote Woodrow Wilson to his first wife, Ellen Louise Axson, during their courtship. "I am afraid it would kill me," he added, "to be always thoughtful, sensible, dignified and decorous."

Yet the Democrats are clearly embarrassed by the foreign policy issue, prefer to discuss domestic matters whenever possible. If Cuba must be talked about, they argue, it should be talked about in the vaguest of terms. Urges the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee in a memo to party candidates: "Be for a course of action on Cuba, but a course of action short of invasion...
