...that the only solution for Massachusetts is to turn it into a wildlife preserve. Such a conversion takes time, and my critics will probably feel it should be done in stages. I agree; in fact, so as not to do anything drastic and to avoid favoritism, it would seem prudent to dismantle Massachusetts civilization following as nearly as possible reverse chronological order. In order to be effective, of course, strict cooperation from all sides, including Harvard, must be rigidly enforced...

As for face-to-face encounters between world statesmen: "Summit diplomacy is to be approached with the wariness with which a prudent physician prescribes a habit-forming drug." He thinks that Presidents should stay away from summits, leave negotiating to the Secretary of State-and that the Secretary should leave it, as much as possible, to ambassadors...
