Sophomore kicker David Rusk added field goals of 25 and 35 yards as Northeastern won for the third time in four games. It was the second shutout for the Huskies, who blanked Rhode Island 17-0 last weekend after going 64 games without a shutout...
Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk, who did not go to Moscow for the conference but followed it closely, added his agreement, then explained it in his tough, clear fashion. "Evacuation under those circumstances is psychologically impossible," he said. "There is no way you are going to get people to leave their families and intimate friends and colleagues.

No such as Robert McNamara, Dean Rusk, McGeorge Bundy, Theodore Sorenson, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., have spread the view that Kennedy's skillful use of flexible response--meeting Soviet moves with an equal amount of force--and the American superiority in conventional strength allowed the United States to prevail. But the transcripts of October 27, 1962 reveal a different picture...
