...Ambassador Adlai Stevenson went to the other extreme, advocating appeasement of the Russians by abandoning the Guantánamo naval base in Cuba and dismantling missile sites in Turkey and Italy. Without elaboration, Bobby reports that "we all spoke as equals. We did not even have a chairman. Dean Rusk-who, as Secretary of State, might have assumed that position-had other duties during this period of time and frequently could not attend our meetings...
Improving Defenses. In two private chats with Gromyko in New York last week, Secretary of State Dean Rusk tried to sound out the Russian diplomat about Soviet intentions, but Gromyko remained unhelpful. Gromyko was equally uncooperative during a chat with West German Foreign Minister Willy Brandt, who came away with the impression that the Soviets were unyielding in their determination to prevent the Federal Republic from having any further trade and diplomatic contacts with the East bloc...

Even though it unmistakably evoked the old, unpleasant atmosphere of the cold war, such frank talk perhaps helped to clarify the new political realities in Europe. Certainly the edgy West Germans were measurably relieved by Rusk's reassurances. The situation in Central Europe cooled enough for the Austrians, who had been troubled by the Soviet troop build-up in neighboring Czechoslovakia, to go ahead with plans to demobilize 11,000 Austrian army draftees whose training period had been extended as a result of the Soviet-made crisis...
