These intimations of action, plus intensified national concern about the cold war and continuing reverberations of the Cuba disaster, combined to stir intense new interest in a long-debated issue of international law and international morality: the rights and wrongs of "intervention." Heard again, after a spell of hibernation, was the view that intervention in all cases is wrong on principle-a dangerous doctrine that could weaken the West in its struggle against Communism.

Staggered by the question, Bejski asked permission to sit, blurted: "After 18 years I cannot describe the feeling of fear . . . there was belief the war would end one day . . . to revolt would endanger 15,000 men . . . where could a Jew run?"
