...overall mood in Washington and Western Europe was one of deep worry. As Stefano Silvestri of Rome's Institute for Foreign Affairs put it, the tone of Andropov's reply seemed "to suggest the bad temper of Khrushchev at the beginning of the '60s, and that of course brings memories of the Berlin crisis, the Cuban missile crisis and all the rest."
