...talk about Cuba, aand perhaps about Quemoy and Matsu as well, it is likely to give not only NATO but also the State Department a good deal of unnecessary anguish. Neither body wants to see men not in a position to make policy decision doing exactly that, and both resent seeing their best-laid plans destroyed with a few words to a television audience...
Repeatedly Wednesday night, Sahl alluded to remarks that he hadn't been able to use on television; he repeated them to the Symphony Hall audience, as though here were people who could be expected to understand and appreciate comments the television audience would resent. And indeed he had every right to expect it, for the lines were really quite tame, had no particular punch, reflected indeed the thoughts of most run-of-the-mill liberals in the country today.

At his age, of course, one shouldn't expect other than this, but somehow one does wish he were kinder to tourists, to modern arrangement of pictures in the Uffiizi, to the motorcycles in Ravenna. These, after all, are the facts of life for modern Italy. Berenson seems to resent them for purely egocentric reasons: because they distract his own concentration, or in some way jibe with his memories of the past...
