He was rather embarrassing in the sketch of another child, himself, who hears a train go by and dreams of faraway places. "It seems like an impossible dream."

If the reflection comes from the side rotating away from Earth, it will go down in frequency...

The P.M. handed the Russian a note, prepared with the help of a White House liaison man, proposing a bombing halt (phase A) to be followed, after a face-saving interval, by mutual de-escalation (phase B). Kosygin had boarded a train to Scotland when Johnson abruptly decided that the proposed interval was too long. The embarrassed Wilson was forced to chase Kosygin down with a new proposal...
