...supported a resumption of the bombing in early 1966, but privately he was against it. But I have a feeling that the old Humphrey is still there and we may see it.

Diplomats are uncertain whether the pronouncement represents only an after-the-fact rationalization for the invasion of Czechoslovakia or whether it is a major development in Soviet doctrine that could justify the dispatch of Red Army...
