...Daily U-2 reconnaissance flights were ordered, and the Cuban reaction to them showed that something unusual was afoot. MiG fighters scrambled after our first flight. A U.S. Navy antisubmarine aircraft was shadowed for 60 miles while a MiG made several strafing passes. I was sufficiently concerned to warn the Soviet Union publicly on Sept. 16 that operating missile-carrying submarines or nuclear weapons from Cuba or servicing them from there would have grave consequences. Since we did not yet have any concrete evidence, I stopped just short of making a direct charge...
...does fail him, his passionate courtship of polo will end. Without the opportunity to excel, without the ability to mount a pony and fly victorious across a manicured field, without all this Fabian's life need not continue.

This comprehensive deterrent, striking personally at the corporate executive as well as the corporation, could quite literally revolutionize industry's present misuses and sloppy disposal of toxic substances, while public pressure on Congress, if relayed to the three regulatory agencies, could eliminate the more...
...September surge is particularly strong. Budget Director James McIntyre last month fired off to all agencies the most detailed memo yet on "controlling year-end buying," even including guidelines for buying furniture. At the next Cabinet meeting, probably this week, McIntyre, with the President's blessing, will warn that departments that shovel out money late this year will risk having their budgets reduced next year...
