That is not the way to reach peaceful solutions." And to Khrushchev's suggestion that he might come to the U.S. to talk things over with Ike, the answer was an ambiguous maybe: "I would never rule [it] out of the realm of possibility...
...about how that menace can be stopped. Says he: "A fundamental law of business is 'compete or die.'
